Happy 4th of July from your friends at The Department 🎆

Happy Valentine’s Day 💓
- From The Department Team

The largest mural in downtown Phoenix is a beautifully vibrant addition to our city. And the best part? The 9,500-square-foot painting lives on the side of The Department!

“Each of the artists had their own element to it, and I wanted them to bring a piece of themselves to this mural, and they all did it very well.” said local artist Lucinda "La Morena" Hinojos.

Hinojos, this year's Big Game theme artist, designed elaborate and deeply meaningful artwork for the Big Game, including the gameday tickets. 🏈

“You're working and dealing with community people … what's important for me is our human connection.” Hinojos said.

“When we were up on the roof with them [the artists] and seeing the progress, it's just so exciting to see their faces light up and just to hear the community. The buzz that's happened around this mural has just been really special.” Daphnee Wood, Director of Events, said during a news conference.

With 2022 coming to a close, The Department Team wanted to pause and send our best wishes to you and yours this holiday.

We look forward to working together in the New Year! ✨
