Purpose of the Mural

The City of Palm Desert is dedicated to serving residents and visitors by providing exemplary services to the community. Many City staff members have been recognized for going above and beyond during the emergencies and disaster situations brought on by Hurricane Hilary. The City of Palm Desert would like to honor and distinguish its Public Works staff and other outdoor workers for their unfailing determination to serve this community during and after the storm. A community mural will be installed by artist Trinity Rivard.

Mural Location

This mural is planned for the front wall of the Corporation Yard located at 74705 42nd Ave and Joni Dr in Palm Desert. The Corporation Yard is where most of the City's outdoor workers begin and finish their work day. The mural will honor the heroic efforts that the City's staff and the local community contributed to keeping our City safe and the ongoing efforts to restore and improve the City of Palm Desert.

How You Can Contribute Ideas

The artist selected by the Cultural Arts Committee, Trinity Rivard, is looking to connect with the Palm Desert community and City of Palm Desert staff to help guide the mural's design. There are three ways to contribute:

  1. Take the survey below and describe your experience during Tropical Storm Hilary.
  2. Provide your own "Ideas" (see below) for a design by describing them in a text format or an upload of a sketch.
  3. Sign up on the right-hand side of this webpage to get involved with the painting of the mural.

Meet the Artist, Trinity Rivard

Trinity began drawing at age 5 and dreamed of being an artist, but it wasn't until high school that his love of art began to take shape under the direction of his art teachers and the support of his family. One teacher commissioned him to create a cartoon, and another purchased a clay pot he made in class. This not only inspired him but in retrospect, what might seem like a small act of kindness was a turning point in Trinity's artistic journey.

Painting throughout college, Trinity continued to create art in hopes that each piece would connect with people in some way. Trinity participated in numerous group and solo art exhibitions around the Tampa Bay area and has sold hundreds of works of art. His art can be found in private collections locally, nationally, and internationally.

Today, Trinity continues to work larger and larger, creating public and private murals. This allows him to step out of his studio space and into new and sometimes challenging environments where he uses the unique surroundings as inspiration when creating.
