New art is bursting into life on the trails.

Isaac Tapia and Rodrigo Alvarez of IT-RA Icons have been hard at work this week on their mural “Serene Flight,” which was selected as part of an online competition.

The contest was sponsored by Thrive Allen County, who successfully obtained a grant to fund the project.

On Wednesday, Tapia and Alvarez took a break from working to answer questions from the community during a featured artist talk.
