Celebrating Local Artists for World Art Day

At Fairfield, we know that being a multifamily housing provider is much more than offering quality apartment living. It's about being a thoughtful member of the local community. That's why we're proud to work with local artists to add something special to our communities. To celebrate the upcoming World Art Day on April 15, check out some of the local artists that have contributed art to our communities nationwide!

Michael Pacheco & Rodrigo Pradel

This 10-foot by 20-foot public artwork on the west side of building 600 at The Moxley that represents the economic rebirth and constant evolution of the area is the result of a generous grant awarded to Spotlight on the Arts in partnership with the Fairfax City Economic Development Authority (EDA) by the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC).

Avery O Design

Local Austin artist Avery Orendorf, owner and muralist at Avery O Design, hand-paintes and hand-draws graphics that utilize clean line work, strong color combinations and repetitive patterns to create intricate but simple art pieces with a deep story potential. Avery painted a 1,400-square-foot mural at the entrance of Fifteen15 South Lamar Apartments that encapsulates the weird, fresh spirit of the city of Austin.
