2022 Austin ArtWorks Festival Mural Project

Mural artist Victor Yepez served as Featured Artist at the 2022 Austin ArtWorks Festival. He engaged the community in a process to design and paint a community mural that was painted at the event and installed at the Paramount Theatre when completed.

Yepez visited Austin in June to gather input about the community at 4th Ave Fest, a community summer kick off.

Yepez then designed an image and plotted it onto flexible metal panels. During the Austin ArtWorks Festival, hundreds of visitors picked up a paint brush and contributed to the image.

After festival, Yepez added black outline to the image and then sealed the paint to protect it from the weather. It was installed on the east wall of the Paramount Theatre, in the heart of downtown Austin.
