Friends of Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge is commissioning local artists to create murals on the two remaining arches of Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. These pieces will complement the existing mural while celebrating the cultural identity of Treasure Valley communities. The project aims to create a welcoming space for visitors and highlight the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System through vibrant, community‑centered art.
