Campus Amphitheater - ”Water is Life” ceramic mural. Dustin Lopez and Kaly Toney, native American artists. 2022 In the summer of 2021 a call for proposals went out asking for native American artists to collaborate with PVCC students, staff and faculty on designing and fabricating a ceramic mural to honor the indigenous people who lived in the Phoenix area many years ago. Dustin Lopez and Kaily Toney were selected. Beginning in September 2021, Dustin and Kaily met in the ceramics studio to brainstorm ideas for the mural. After a theme was chosen: Water is Life, it was decided that the mural depict the year in water. The location is in the center of campus, and is 108’ in length. The mural was assembled piece by piece in the ceramics studio and installed in the spring of 2022.
