Community Services Commissioner, Kathy Sizemore added “Temecula’s Art & Street Painting
Festival is one of many events celebrating beautiful, original artwork and vibrant imagery. I have
had the privilege of attending many Art Mural unveilings since February of 2021 in Sam Hicks
Monument Park, and this event is another family favorite. These unique opportunities and events
provide local artists with high-profile, public exhibit spaces to showcase their homegrown talents.
Visit Old Town Temecula to view them all, or view them online at your leisure on the City’s website.”
