A new mural by the late artist Hal Marcus was unveiled today at the Casa Ford dealership. The piece is meant to honor local history and the artist’s memory.
The mural carries the title “El Paso Gracias a Dios.” It is mounted at the Casa Ford lot, where many customers and passersby can see it.
Luke Lowenfield, vice president of Casa Auto Group, said the mural represents the first Thanksgiving. He said that event took place at the historic hacienda.
The artwork ties into local stories about the area’s early days. Organizers say the image recalls a moment of thanks at a historic site that matters to residents.
The mural is now part of the dealership’s public-facing space. It will be visible to visitors and may draw attention to the site’s history and to Marcus’s work.
Observers say the piece adds to the city’s collection of public art. Supporters hope it helps keep local history and the artist’s legacy alive.
