Cuero artist paints Yoakum’s first mural

Grand Theater and Game Room owner Tammy Steinmann hopes it is the start of a trend for the town.

The Grand Theater and Game Room in Yoakum now features a mural by Cuero artist Rafael Acosta Jr., who spent the summer on the project.

Theater owner Tammy Steinmann said she commissioned Acosta to paint a mural inside the Game Room, and the project led to one outside as well. The artist’s work so impressed her that she wanted him to create a piece of work for the whole town’s enjoyment and that of visitors, she said.
