San Luis, AZ, now boasts a new set of touristic letters, unveiled by the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center, which echo the city's unique identity and heritage. According to a recent press release, these are intertwined with the community's heartbeat, designed by local talents Sheccid Ortiz and Marcia Hernandez to celebrate San Luis' agricultural roots, the influential UFW movement, and the border community's stories.
During Art en la Calle, a lively annual festivity, these letters made their grand appearance, standing unmissable against the backdrop of the center based at 1015 N. "We wanted to create something more than just a photo opportunity," Director of Parks and Recreation Angelica Roldan told the City of San Luis, highlighting the installation as an immersive educational passage for both the local residents and out-of-towners.
Each painted detail on the San Luis AZ letters embodies a shared past, a present vibrancy, and an open-armed welcome to the future. Visitors are encouraged to not just pass by but take a moment and capture their encounter with the city's essence.
For those who wish to delve into the story behind the letters or have a chat with the city officials, the City of San Luis Public Affairs Office is just a call or an email away, reachable at (928) 341-8520 or [email protected].
