Siler Rufina District is proud to
announce a Mural Launch party at Siler Yard: Arts and Creativity Center, 1218 Siler Rd. on Sunday, October 12 from 2:00 – 6:00pm.
The mural to be unveiled is a large sculptural serpent, mounted in relief at the project site and
wrapped in silver aluminum and gold brass sheeting.
The local artist is Jonathan Meade. This work is inspired by cross-cultural myths of serpent beings —
heralds of change, renewal, and cosmic connection. In the East they appear as dragons; in Mesoamerica, plumed serpents; and here among the Tewa people, Awanyu, the horned serpent — bringer of rain, seasonal change, and companion to Kokopelli, god of fertility, music, and good harvests. The idea of community emblems also shaped this vision.
Jonathan says “my goal was to create something both unique and ecological — minimalist in design
yet rich in symbolism. My deepest hope is that this piece carries true power, substance, and meaning,
serving as a blessing for renewal, unity, and the flourishing of generations to come.”
Jonathan Meade and his brother Michael Meade are the founders of All Aboard Earth. They are
creative directors devoted to uplifting people and planet. Shaped by the beauty and hardships of the
Southwest, his work weaves art, media, and community visioning with reverence for nature,
celebration of diversity, and wonder for the universe, nurturing awe, joy, and connection.
They will perform live music at event.
