Earthly Reverence: every living thing is our relation
This mural was created by Mural Mice Universal artists Margaret Dewar and R. E. Wall based on drawings made by 200 children from Adams Elem., César E. Chávez Elem., 4J NATIVES Program, Boys & Girls Club of Emerald Valley and Eugene Arte Latino. We are grateful for support from a City of Eugene Office of Equity & Community Engagement Neighborhood Matching Grant, Lane County Cultural Coalition/Oregon Cultural Trust grant, and donations from FAN neighbors including Friendly Street Market. The City of Eugene Public Art Program designed and installed the plaque that is below the mural.
FAN Equity Action Team would like to thank Jennifer Eisele, Becky White, and Marta Lu Clifford for being part of our mural planning team. Without their involvement, this mural would not have happened.
The Earthly Reverence mural includes 29 different native plants and animals in the design
Over 200 people attended our Mural Celebration on Aug. 18.2014. We would like to thank Becky White for guiding us in honoring this space and giving voice to words for respect for the land we live on; Shannin Stutzman and Noly Chounard for uniting us in the Round Dance; Marta Lu Clifford for creating a wonderful story about our mural; Mayor Lucy Vinis for giving the warm Welcome from the City; and Ballet Folklórico Colibrí for providing spectacular entertainment!
