Unveiled on October 8, this mural was completed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rubychacon.com\/\">Ruby Chacon<\/a> and commissioned by Zion&#8217;s National Bank as part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccsutah.org\/\">Catholic Community Services&#8217;<\/a> $3 million capital renovation campaign. The mural appears on the front of the\u00a0organization&#8217;s new building located at\u00a0745 E. 300 South. The mural, which includes images of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Aztec trumpeters, weeping children ,and even members of Chacon&#8217;s family, was created as a symbol of hope for the city&#8217;s ability to bridge cultural divides.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/m2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-99274\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/m2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"445\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/m2.jpg 445w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/m2-350x176.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this month&#8217;s edition of 15 Bytes (which should be out Wednesday evening), Amanda Moore takes a look at Ely, Nevada, a town she says\u00a0was saved by artists.
