The Queen BeeArtist: Marta Alonso
Mural Location: Currently undetermined, though we have some ideas for prominent locations. If you own a piece of property downtown and would like to host this mural please contact Lia. This stunning image was painted by local artist Marta Alonso. We are currently gathering funds to install a large scale version of the painting as a mural in a prominent location in downtown Fort Bragg. Thanks to a generous grant from the Community Foundation's A.D. Abramson Endowment Fund we now have the resources to match any sponsorship for this mural.
One in ten pollinating insects is on the verge of extinction, and a third of our bee and butterfly species is declining. We want to raise awareness through the power of art and honor the pollinators. Did you know that Fort Bragg was the very first official Bee City USA in California? We couldn't bee prouder. Funding StatusGoal: $4000
Current funding: $1937.50 (We will update this number daily.) Please help us bring this gorgeous piece of public art to Fort Bragg! Your donation will go directly to pay for paint and the artist's time. If you are a local mission-driven business or organization who would like to co-sponsor this mural please get in touch through the contact form below. We couldn't make gorgeous murals happen without amazing partners such as The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, who sponsored the Rhododendrons.
