The second round of Moveable Murals was installed right before the Strawberry Festival! Congratulations to our selected muralists, Priscilla Martinez, Jaime Sánchez, and Peter Bartczak. The second round was sponsored by the City of Watsonville and coordinated by Tamara Vides, City Manager's Office and Judy Stabile of PVA.
We thank the City staff who made for a smooth transition, Grant Adams, Miguel Navarrete, Josh and John. Our call-for-entry this year asked artists to consider the theme of pedestrian safety as seen in two of the murals selected. The ribbon cutting will be held within the next few weeks.

Peter Bartczak
It is hard to say goodbye to the first round of murals, sponsored by the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz. The great news is that three of them are truly on the move! In the near future, you will find three of the murals at Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes and the Watsonville Civic Plaza.
