Roses for Rose Park Artist Cody Lusby brought together volunteers over the weekend to paint a Roses for Rose Park Mural on the east side of Rivera’s Mexican Restaurant at 2901 E 7th Street in Rose Park Neighborhood.

Special thanks to Artist and Rose Park Resident Cody Lusby for his vision and community building efforts, and to all of the volunteers who helped make this mural come alive!

A big shout out to George Rivera of Rivera’s Mexican Restaurant and the family’s ongoing support of Rose Park Neighborhood!

It’s amazing what happens when a community comes together.
