The Mesa County Libraries Clifton Branch, 3270 D 1/2 Road, Building A. will host an event April 5, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., to show off the new outdoor mural created by local artist Jeremy Velasquez.

The mural was commissioned by the Colorado Area Health Education Center Medicina y Urban/Rural Art Lessons en Salud (MURALS) Project, which commissions local artists to create informative and beautiful artwork on large structures throughout the state. These murals communicate health messages in culturally resonant ways to communities throughout Colorado.

The Clifton Library mural celebrates Clifton’s cultural heritage and the active, outdoor lifestyle the community embraces.

The Colorado Area Health Education Center will provide free health screenings and sponsor a food truck at the event.
