Estrella Jalisco, the Mexican beer from the cultural capital of Mexico – Jalisco – just announced a $1 million pledge to bring colorful art to 100 communities across the southwestern United States, including Arizona.

This summer, Phoenix will see this initiative come to life with help from Estrella Jalisco’s Artists in Residence program, the brand’s first-ever collective of local artists. Together, they will transform blank walls in public spaces into vibrant, larger-than-life murals with special ties to the neighborhood by featuring a “Local Star” or hero who is making a positive impact in the community in their own unique way.

But Estrella Jalisco can't do it alone, which is why we are introducing our first-ever Artists In Residence program, a collective of nine bright and bold artists from across the country for the first initiative of Estrella Jalisco's commitment.

Estrella Jalisco needs Phoenix residents’ help to nominate a Local Star

• Phoenix residents are invited to nominate their Local Star on Twitter from July 9 – July 24, 2020.
• Simply tag your Local Star and @Estrella Jalisco in a tweet using #SaludYourStar and #Contest.
• Tell us about how this person is making an impact in their community for a chance to give them the ‘thank you’ recognition of a lifetime!

As of July 9, consumers are invited to nominate local stars who are making a big impact in their neighborhood, city, and broader communities in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, and El Paso. To submit a nomination, tag your local star and @EstrellaJalisco on Twitter using #SaludYourStar and #contest. Tell us how this person is making an impact in their community - we can't wait to be inspired by their stories! Those selected will be recognized with a mural created by one of the Artists in Residence along with a donation to help advance their mission.

Local stars must be 25+ to be nominated. For more information, follow Estrella Jalisco and #SaludYourStar onTwitter,Facebook, andInstagram.
