A West Valley Arts Council Gallery 37 Project

Created by teen artists of the West Valley Arts Council's Gallery 37 program over the summer of 2008, this mural illustrates the transition of Avondale's rural beginnings to its urban foundations.  The cyclel expands on the idea of a natural habitat untouched by humanity by the use of organic shapes and colors; which then moves on to more synthetic colors and geometric shapes to express the idea of an urban setting. Painted on flat aluminum panels, various aspects of city, past and present, are represented in both abstract and literal forms. The piece is designed to bring beauty to Avondale, not just by its presence but also to serve as a reminder of the beauty the city already holds.

Master Artist: Aaron Rothman

Apprentices: Anthony Dunn, HaNa Gill, Heather Graber, Vanessa Madrid, Jessica Mendez, Blake Payan, Kayla Stoffel
