New Hope Murals

Murales de Nueva Esperanza (New Hope Housing)

New Hope Murals



6311 Gulf Freeway, Houston, Texas 77023



In 2009 New Hope Housing, Inc. commissioned artist Carmen Lomas Garza to design four metal cutout murals for its renovated S.R.O. (Single Room Occupancy) building for low-income residents. Garza designed and cut four paper cutouts at 1/6 scale size. The paper cutouts were scanned and used as the matrix to cut ½ inch thick steel panels to make the four murals each one measuring 14 x 48 feet. The murals were installed on the front of buildings facing the freeway, providing a welcoming for the residents and an exhibition to passing motorists.
