This year, for the 18th annual Regional Unity event, Valley cities and towns are coming together to host a “Unity ‘Art’ Walk: A Visual Journey of Diversity, Culture and Equity.” Each city has compiled a list of signature art pieces, including murals, photos, performances and sculptures for the community to experience.
“I really wanted to spread a positive message, so I do a lot in the hashtag ‘What lifts you’. So, when Downtown Mesa reached out to us, they liked my work, I was like, this is perfect, I’m going to be in town, so I added an extra day onto my trip so I can create a new piece here.”
The work she created, two butterfly wings on the side of a building between North Robson and North MacDonald along Main St. next to the Pomeroy building, includes five hidden items that speak to Montague about the heart of Mesa.
“I wanted to focus on the idea of having a brewery there and having great music there, just this whole up-and-coming area that it is, so it was really cool to be able to highlight that in the mural and highlight something that people in Mesa are really proud of,” Montague said.
