Old Indio - Mural Restoration and Maintenance - Public Art in Coachella Val

Old Indio by Bijan Masoumpanah painted in 2014, covers the entire side of a building 20′ x 70′ in historic downtown Indio, CA. Once an area known only for its date growing industry, most people not only kn0w about this area but flock to it several times a year for the multiple festivals that are held. The most famous is the Coachella Music Festival but I was surprised that they have a super well attended International Taco Festival!!! LOL…

Burning Man Festival is probably the most infamous… although, the Coachella Music Festival is huge and well known now. Anyway, its been with foresight that the City Council of Indio has been utilizing quality public art as an attraction to bring the festival goers to their town for over 20 years.

I was very surprised at the quality of the murals the first time I “got the tour.” None of them are thrown up casually.”Old Indio” tells a story and triggers stories by locals about how much things have changed in this corner of California.

Painted 10 years ago, the mural has needed maintenance, as you might imagine, given the hot desert temperatures (it gets direct morning sun) and winds, given the ding dongs with spray cans, and given the poor construction of the building’s walls. But, with a proper protective coating to make graffiti easier to remove and the upkeep of flaking plaster, this iconic mural in the main part of town will remain in good condition and reflect the “pride of ownership” of the City of Indio for many decades to come.

Don’t be surprised if you see models and movie set crews posing in front of the murals… but don’t worry, you’ll look just as good as they do on social media.
