OUR COMMON THREAD

With only a few words of inspiration given to him, artist Robert Jones transformed a 16 foot by 32 foot medium density overlay plyboard into a mural highlighting San Marcos’ cultural diversity. 

The new mural located near the corner of MLK Drive and LBJ Drive was unveiled Saturday morning in front of a small, socially-distanced crowd. The painting aims to showcase San Marcos’ many local cultures and proclaim how each have come together to better the city. 

“I thought about, as I was executing this, everybody has something in common,” Jones said. “And that commonality is the piece of thread that sows us all together.”
