Germantown Art Commission selects mobile mural by Sean Coffee after community vote

The Germantown Design Review Commission held a meeting on June 24, 2025, primarily focused on the selection of a mobile mural. The commission reviewed 33 submissions and narrowed them down to three invited artists who were compensated for their concept murals. Community engagement was a key aspect of the selection process, with approximately 1,900 residents participating in an online vote to choose their favorite design.

The chosen artist, Sean Coffee, received unanimous support from the commission. The selected mural will be displayed on mobile billboards, with preparations already underway for the substrates and stands. The director, Cat Pena, is coordinating the logistics to ensure the project progresses smoothly. The mural is expected to be showcased at various community events, including the Germantown Festival in the fall and Houston High School football games.

The commission expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting the positive community involvement and the potential for increased visibility of local artists. The next steps involve finalizing the mural's design and preparing for its public display.
