The new mural, Women in S.T.E.M., was painted by Great Oak High School (GOHS) Students and members of the National Art Honor Society Club: Ava Nevens, Charlotte Perfili, Yael Kaniel, Sophie Dornic, William Soriano.

The group states, “Our Club is a group of impassioned artists who come together to promote creativity and involvement in our community through art.”

This mural’s objective is to honor women who have braved and made profound impacts in the male-dominated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Moreover, it aims to promote an encouraging environment for minorities to enter and excel in STEM fields.

The Temecula Art Mural Project seeks to support emerging artists by providing a space to showcase their craft. Artists have the opportunity to paint a mural on varying topics, facilitated by Bigfoot Graphics. For more information, please call 951-694-6480.
