TOPPENISH DREAMS

Colors dashed upon brickwork. Yakama. European. Hispanic. History of the Lower Yakima Valley. Identifying a community through a dedication to the creation of murals, at least one per year.



Stick games and polo and pranks. Harvesting the land, hauling to market, hops. Historical advertisements and historical figures, looming large over the core of downtown.


Trompe l'oeil. The illusion of masonry on a flat stucco wall. The illusion of a golden age.
