Thinking about this masterpiece by Nicole Merizalde @zaldepaints for @dunwoodyparksandrec at @stagedoortheatrega 💙 Zalde’s style combines both realism and graphic elements to create a fusion that transports you to a dreamy, surrealistic world.

She aims to represent the ever-growing population of “hyphenated Americans” and the beauty in being culturally and ethnically multifaceted.​​​​​​​ This mural leans into that mission while highlighting all that goes into bringing a play to life—from actors to playwrights to lighting, costume, set design and even the audience itself—mirroring how theatre and murals alike take many hands to bring art to life. Stop by Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center to see the mural in person, take some art classes, and see some incredible performances! assisted by @trudytranart commissioned by @dunwoodyparksandrec for @stagedoortheatrega 📸 @portraitsbyisadora 💙
