Las Tres Hermanas / The Three Sisters

Four artists, two cities, one wall on Congress

On the side of The Neighborhood DWTN bar at 61 E Congress, there’s a 50-foot mural that’s hard to miss and worth slowing down for. Four artists — Ruben Urrea Moreno, Melo Dominguez, Antonio Lucero, and Gerardo Frias, from both Tucson and Nogales, Sonora — painted it in April 2023 as part of the Rock the Spot mural event.

The Three Sisters refers to the traditional Indigenous practice of growing corn, beans, and squash together — each one supporting the others. The mural takes that idea somewhere cosmic: three women surrounded by corn, monarchs, a bee, water, and a galaxy of sky behind them.
