In September of 2022, the School of Visual and Performing Arts and the MVC Art Gallery received a Century Circle Grant through the RCCD Foundation to support the production of a campus art mural at the College. Rosy Cortez, a painter, muralist, and a College alumna, completed MVC in Bloom, which covers the walkways leading up to the Humanities Building.

Cortez is a member of the artist studio Eastside Arthouse and a leading figure in the mural renaissance underway in Riverside. Her work has been exhibited at The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and is held in a number of private collections.

A number of community paint days were held to provide the community with an opportunity to participate in the project.
