Donate now to the northaven Trail Bridge mural project

The Friends of Northaven Trail selected Chera Creative to add murals to the Northaven Trail Bridge which takes us over US 75. The murals introduce trail visitors and neighbors to some of the beautiful flora and fauna they will see on the trail: plants indigenous to our area, and the pollinators which depend on them for survival. Whether you’re riding your bike, walking your dog, or just driving by, these murals will offer you an opportunity to connect with art in an unconventional space. The artwork improves the aesthetics of the bridge and is a wonderful addition to the City of Dallas. 

Please help us reach our fundraising goal!  Read more about the mural here.
