Many San Marcos locals are familiar with the large diversity mural that was unveiled on Jan. 16, 2021, off the corner of LBJ Dr. and Martin Luther King Dr. near downtown San Marcos. The artist of the mural, Robert R. Jones, is set to unveil a new exhibit of original works at the San Marcos Art Center starting April 6-30. While the diversity mural, titled “Celebrate Diversity: Our Common Thread,” was the largest piece Jones has created, totaling at 16 panels and 500 hours of work, Jones’ new exhibit, “Walking in My Shoes” will show a series of paintings and prints reflecting on the experiences of the artist’s life.
