New Mural Completed in Reno
“The City of Reno is pleased to announce the completion of the new public mural at Evelyn Mount Northeast Community Center!
A mural dedication ceremony will be held on Tuesday, March 4 at 4 p.m. and you’re invited.
The mural titled “XOXO”, was created by Erik Burke and is located on the western exterior of the building. The concept incorporates textiles, patterns, and portraits significant to community members, including long-time EMNECC staff and a young portrait of Evelyn Mount. The design highlights the “fabric of the neighborhood,” blending community stories with visual elements contributed during the development process. The mural was made possible by the Reno Arts & Culture Commission (RACC) and the Public Art Committee (PAC).
“We’re excited to have Erik’s work adorn our building as he is a fifth-generation Nevadan from Reno and his art captures the essence of our community,” said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. “We invite everyone to join us for the mural dedication and look forward to this artwork being enjoyed for many years to come.” #reno #nevada
