Mesquite is featuring a public art display during June.
The “Mesquite Coyote” is sponsored by Virgin Valley Artists Association (VVAA) to spotlight the fun and community spirit generated by art. The artists crafted a larger-than-life wooden cutout of a coyote and offered it free of charge to local businesses to decorate and display.
The spirit caught on, and those mascots are appearing at the doors of 40 businesses June 1-25. The public is invited to vote for their favorite, and be on hand when the “Leader of the Pack” winner is announced at the 10th Anniversary Reception for the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, Thursday, June 27, 4-7pm.
A list of the participating businesses is below. Any business can provide ballots, and votes must be returned to the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, at 15 W, Mesquite Blvd., by June 25. The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
The VVAA, operators of the city-owned Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery facility, is hosting the 10th anniversary reception that marks this significant milestone. The reception and other 2013 art education activities, including the coyote public art display, are funded jointly by VVAA and a Community Grant awarded by the City of Mesquite for the year-long celebration.
