ArtWorks activated the Wasson Way trail with a largescale public mural in summer 2020.
The mural beautifies a wall on the Duke Energy complex in Oakley and infusing color and organic forms to complement the natural environment along the trail. The mural celebrates sustainability, energy, movement, and nature and adds visual interest to the surrounding woods and trail area.
ArtWorks employed two Teaching Artists, including designer Christian Dallas, to lead a team of eight Youth Apprentices to paint the mural spans close to 300 feet.
