3. SAMPLE SLIDES
The creative concept for the Houstonitopia campaign started over six years ago with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. As the city of
Houston hosted many New Orleans residents, one artist in particular was especially grateful. As a new resident, visual artist Janetha Richard
admits that coming from a place as lively as New Orleans, Houston seemed tamed to say the least.
However, as she became familiar with Houston, she was impressed with the wonderment, opportunity, and diversity of the city she has now
come to love.
“I decided to make a re-emergence with a piece that would pay homage to the city that offered her refuge after the storm, hence the
inspiration for the custom mural entitled, ‘Houstonitopia’. My goal for Houstonitopia, is to let everyone see the city as I view it. And with
Houston’s rich art culture, what better way to relay that imagery than through art. So I used my paint brush to describe visually what I see
when I look at Houston. And of course Houston is so large and vast only a mural would do. It is truly a place that has a little bit of everything
for everyone.” Janetha Richard
CMM has translated the sentiment and imagery of this artwork into our proposed campaign – “Houstonitopia: It’s Everything Your’re Looking
For.”
