Building Communities from the Ground Up

We’re thrilled to announce that Lewis is a proud sponsor of O-Town Walls Muralfest, an initiative that’s transforming downtown Ontario into a vibrant open-air art museum. This festival brings together 13 talented muralists who are simultaneously painting large-scale works across exterior walls, alleys, and building facades throughout the downtown area. By turning blank canvases into stunning visual narratives, this project reminds us that art has the power to connect communities, inspire creativity, and spark meaningful conversations.

O-Town Walls Muralfest artists include Taylor White from Raleigh, North Carolina, who is creating a towering vaudeville-style performer on the Granada Theater’s rear wall, Cristhian Saravila from Miami, and local talents like Allison Bamcat, Nico Cathcart, and Christian “594Evah” Garcia. The festival was conceived by Shane Grammer of Rancho Cucamonga and brought to life by organizers Mia and Damien Melle, with crucial support from City Council member Debra Porada. This project aligns seamlessly with our commitment to fostering inclusive communities where creativity and collaboration thrive.

We’re excited to see the incredible art and stories that will emerge from O-Town Walls Muralfest. Whether you’re an artist, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the transformative power of creativity, we invite you to follow along, take the walking tours, and witness how communities can be strengthened one wall at a time.
