The Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship Mural project aims to celebrate the city of Renton's
commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship through the creation of a large-scale public
art mural. The mural will be designed and painted by local artist Craig Cundiff and it will be located in a
highly visible public space within the city of Renton. The project will involve community engagement and
educational programs such as workshops, artist talks, and surveys to gather feedback and input from
community members. The goal is to involve as many community members as possible in the creation of
the mural and to promote environmental awareness and sustainability in Renton.
Craig Cundiff is a muralist based in South Seattle. Over the last seven years Craig has lived to create
heart-touching, large scale works of public art that highlight and activate communities by representing
their unique and rich cultural identity. The murals he creates elevate the standard of what an inspired
community mural can be. Each of his murals have an overarching theme of unity and divinity, and what
ties them all together is the attention to the space in which they live.
