The Emigrant Trail

The City of Temecula will have a Dedication Ceremony for the new Civic Center on December 9th at 4:00 PM.
Address: 41000 main Street Old Town Temecula.


The new $73 million Civic Center includes a 95,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial-style City Hall, a three-story parking garage and a town square.
I'm very thankful to be awarded to do "The Emigrant Trail" mosaic mural and to be part of this project. The mural will be finally revealed. It took one year to finish. I learned a lot about the history of Temecula and the significance of the Emigrant Trail in the City's growth from 1847 to 1858.
You are welcome to join us at the Dedication Ceremony on December 9th: Ceremony, Tours, Refreshments. For more information, please call the city: 951-694-6481
If you can't make it on the 9th, on Saturday Dec 11th, they will have their Public Open House. You will also be able to see a mural done by Marlo Bartels and a mosaic fountain by artist Christopher Pardell. Beautiful works!
I'm very proud about this Public Art project and I hope to see you there.
