Twentynine Palms California Goes Global in 2008
Action Council for 29 Palms, a globally recognized non-profit mural organization, is proud to announce the appearance of Makoto Hashigami from Tokyo Japan in April 2008. Hashigami has scheduled two weeks to work on a mural at the Oasis of Mara, which is located on the grounds of the historic 29 Palms Inn. His mural portrays the Oasis of Mara as it might have appeared before the area was settled, with a Native American Indian woman holding firmly the ponds valuable water.
Since its inception in 1995, Action Council for 29 Palms has used murals to beautify the community of Twentynine Palms, and along the way, it has become a symbol of hope to other aging communities around the world. In fact, several times a year other small communities wanting to know how to establish a community mural program contact this organization.
The initial intent of the mural program was to spur local economic activity and to give the community of Twentynine Palms a sense of pride; consequently, the community has seen an economic rebirth. In the last thirteen years, Twentynine Palms has grown substantially, had dozens of new businesses open, seen hundreds of new homes built, and perhaps the biggest project to date, the NuWu Indian Casino will open its doors in early 2009.
Additionally, the murals have become a sub attraction to Joshua Tree National Park, which is located adjacent to the community of Twentynine Palms. Joshua Tree National Park has an estimated 1.5 to 2 million visitors annually, many of who come from Europe and Asia.
Hashigami resides in Tokyo Japan, but visits the desert paradise each year. While visiting Twentynine Palms, he discovered the mural program and asked to be apart of its growth. After working with Hashigami for well over a year, Action Council for 29 Palms has confidence in his astonishing talent. Action Council for 29 Palms believes Hashigami’s ability will be well displayed and worthy of the location selected.
Hashigami is tentatively scheduled to begin painting the Mural at the Oasis of Mara on April 27 and will complete his work of art on May 10, 2008. A mural dedication and unveiling is tentatively schedule for April 10; further updates will be forthcoming and made available to media outlets.
Action Council for 29 Palms believes both of these global events will be a momentous occasion; consequently, we look forward to first hosting Makoto Hashigami and witnessing his incredible artistic abilities first hand; followed by Cristian S. Aluas and observing the community’s first skateboard mural.
