Connecticut-based artist Jillian Goeler designed this mural that decorates the entire first floor of a vacant storefront. The organization CT Murals contracted her to create and paint the design. Goeler has created artwork for Queer Eye and Refinery29. She also works closely with Hartford Prints, which is a great place to support her work.

Lindaluz Carillo: "She works with Hartford Prints as, I believe, their graphic designer and artist, so she does a lot of the designs in there. Hartford Prints is a local shop. They have a lot of merch that is either from local, or um, you know, businesses that are from Bridgeport, New Haven. They started off as a printmaking studio, essentially, and they would make cards and wedding invitations, and stuff like that. I think over time they just moved on to other things. ... I know this spot, they've been wanting to paint this for a while, and I believe that the person who is in collaboration with this is like CT Murals and maybe the owner of Red Rock. I don't know the full detail, but I know there was a conversation between both spaces. I don't know if they're going to turn this into anything any time soon. I hope so. It used to be a salsa club at one point."
