Local Artist Chosen to Paint Visitor's Center Mural

 

SAN ANGELO – The San Angelo Chamber of Commerce Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) has selected a local artist for the creation of a captivating mural on the interior wall of the San Angelo Visitor Center, 418 W Avenue B. Following a call for artists, the DMO received submissions from an array of skilled local artists, each showcasing their unique vision and creative prowess.

Thursday morning, Chamber President Walt Koenig introduced Sharon Flippin as the local artist to create the mural on the wall inside the Visitor Center. 

“The San Angelo Chamber of Commerce is proud of San Angelo’s designation as the 'Visual Arts Capital of Texas.' This mural project in our world-famous visitor’s center will not only celebrate this designation but will also inform visitors of our rich history and of the great things to do in our city," said Koenig.

Below is the artist's rendering of the planned mural.
