Bellas Artes youth instructors Miryam Moctezuma and Neery Hernandez celebrate the vibrantly repainted mural on Via Real near Kim’s Market. Originally painted by Santa Barbara artist Armando Vallejo in the early 1990s, the 100-foot long Aztec-themed art piece depicts two long serpents, one red and one green, with Tlaloc, the rain god, in the center. The last time the mural received any TLC was 2003. In the ensuing years, its pigments faded and graffiti-removal efforts strayed from the original mural colors. Bellas Artes, a Carpinteria Arts Center cultural arts education outreach project founded by Kathleen Lord and currently under the direction of Cynthia Woo, undertook the recent effort to repaint the mural using grant monies from the Fund for Santa Barbara. Youth instructors Moctezuma, Hernandez and Maria Ramos applied for the funding, led the restoration in April and May and officially unveiled the updated art piece last week.
