Mural at La Ilucion

Located at La Ilucion, 916 S. 13th Street, the mural illustrates the many growing Latin cultures in the City of Lincoln. The central icon, the sugar skull, is a traditional symbol honoring ancestry and Latin roots. Other recognizable images include the Brazilian landmark statue, Christ the Redeemer and Angel Falls in Venezuela. The classic Mayan temple on the hillside represents the pride and power of the ancient indigenous peoples. Representing the United States and Mexico, the bald eagle and the golden eagle join to symbolize the unity for which our community strives. Three area artists, Leora Platte, Gail Erickson, and Troy Hettenbaugh designed and painted the mural.

This is the third mural in a series of murals in the Clinton, Hartley and Malone neighborhoods. Sponsors of the mural project include NeighborWorks® Lincoln, Woods Charitable Fund, Inc., and the City of Lincoln.
