This project was a specific request for Simply Artistic to create a cultural-themed mural image that would include the national flag of the United States, Mexico and Latin countries south of Mexico. The customer provided a list of countries to include. The request was also to incorporate those flags into the words, “GULFTON PRIDE“. Burnett Bayland Park is in a predominantly Latin community whose cross streets in Houston Texas are at Gulfton Dr and Chimney Rock Rd.
‘Gulfton Pride’ was a city-supported effort to revitalize the community as they ‘marched against crime‘ at the mural unveiling with Houston Mayor, Sylvester Turner, Council Member Edward Pollard, Commissioner Jack Eagle and many more.
The mural was painted directly onto four 3/4″ sheets of 4′ x 8′ plywood. The plywood was installed on a brick wall in the center of the park.
