The City of El Paso's Public Art Program reached a milestone Wednesday, July 15, with the unveiling of its 100th completed project at Marty Robbins Recreation Center.

The mural, titled "Guardians of the Southwest," was created by local artists Ivan Ortega, Miguel Picos and Julian Vidales, according to KTSM. The artwork marks a decade-spanning effort by the city to integrate public art throughout El Paso neighborhoods and public spaces.
