Gilbert's Downtown Heritage District just got more colorful with the addition of two new traffic signal cabinet murals along Gilbert Road.
The project is part of an effort to increase public art in the District.

The box design incorporates cattle and hay on the front panel in honor of Gilbert's agricultural staples.
The back panel features a railroad crossing sign along with the Union Pacific Railroad pedestrian bridge that is a gateway to the Heritage District, in honor of key developments to the city.
Local artist Ariana Enriquez was selected to complete the project by a committee comprised of Town of Gilbert staff, members of the Redevelopment Commission and Heritage District merchants.
Ariana said she created the concept "with Gilbert’s history as a guiding path. Previous mayor of Gilbert, Jenn Daniels, mentions how the city has experienced '100 years of continual progress.' I wanted my design to reflect this idea, as well as celebrate how Gilbert both preserves and values its heritage."
Location: Southeast corner of Gilbert Road and Vaughn Avenue
