Words Alive Community Book Mural

Help Us Bring Our Wall to Life

We are dreaming big at Words Alive and we need your help to bring a bold, joyful new mural to life in our office!

This beautiful mural will transform a large interior wall of our East Village headquarters into a colorful, imaginative world where stories come to life. Designed by renowned San Diego artist, Hugo Fernando Fierro, it will celebrate the magic of reading and the community that makes our work possible.

Reserve your spot on the shelf! With a gift of $1,250 or $2,500, you can add your name, or the name of someone you love, to a book spine in our mural. It’s a lasting way to celebrate your love of reading and your support for Words Alive.

Artist: Hugo Fernando Fierro
Technical Design: Kyle Clark
