Natural Beauty of the Surrounding Hills

“The Art in Public Spaces Committee (APSC) is the driving force behind the new Moraga mural located on the six feet by 37 feet wall outside the Town Chambers at 335 Rheem Boulevard. The artwork combines themes pertaining to the Town’s natural beauty as well as its local landmarks.

A survey was initiated by the APSC asking the community to submit key words that generally bring to mind life in Moraga. The survey was open for six weeks between June 19 and July 31 of last year and received 221 responses, to which the APSC Mural Subcommittee analyzed and condensed the information from one of the questions asking: ‘In two to three words, what defines Moraga?’

The results were compiled and noted that the most often used words were: ‘nature, open space, hills, semi-rural, and beautiful.’ By combining those descriptions, the theme of the mural became: ‘Natural Beauty of the Surrounding Hills.’
