Crosspoint Community’s New Youth Group Building is an ARTreach Project and a Public Work of Art!
Crosspoint Community Church and Katy ARTreach collaborated to produce a complete wrap-around mural for the youth group building located on the church property. This unique mural is an outstanding public work of art in Katy thanks to the participation of professional artist Mario Jaramillo of Houston, Texas.
Mario is well known for his work in Houston as a graphic and professional artist, as well as being one of the original founders of the international hip hop group URGEWORKS. Mario was involved in this unique project when Crosspoint’s Youth Pastor, Jason Dial asked ARTreach for a way to get his youth group involved in a special project that would take the old grey trailers being utilized for meetings to a level that could inspire new energy and excitement.
To initiate the project, Mario took the rendered drawings created by the youth involved and interpreted them into a collage of powerful urban art images. Mario and a team of painters completed the ARTreach project within three months. The mural project was funded with the support of the Crosspoint congregation and unveiled in a ceremony that included a staged presentation by URGEWORKS starring Mario Jaramillo and co-founder Chris Gamez (pictured). Stop by anytime and see this unique work of art on the property of Crosspoint Community Church Westgreen Campus located at 700 S Westgreen Blvd. Katy TX 77450 just south of I-10, on the corner of Westgreen and Kingsland.
