TO: Southlake Arts Council
FROM: Candice Edmondson, Deputy Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Discussion: Proposed Murals for BJ’s Restaurant &
Brewhouse
________________________________________________________________
Action Requested: Southlake Arts Council review and feedback on the
proposed murals for BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse
Background
Information: BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is planning to open a new
location in Southlake at East Southlake Blvd and North
Kimball Ave. As part of the BJ’s Restaurant building design,
murals are typically incorporated on the exterior elevations.
For the Southlake location, the developer is proposing two
different mural concepts. Before proceeding with final
concept design and approval, the developer would like to
seek feedback from the Southlake Arts Council on the
proposed mural concepts. The proposed concepts are
attached to this memo for your review.
According to the developer, Artist Mark McIntosh created a
series of murals for BJ’s Restaurants - two of which are
proposed for the exterior façade of the Southlake restaurant
(one on the front entry elevation and one on the rear
elevation). The murals depict turn of the century laborers
and their relentless commitment to their livelihood. BJ’s
embraces this ideal and strives for this same excellence in
the execution of their business. Additional information on the
inspiration behind the mural concepts is attached to this
memo.
The murals will be created on a material suited for an
exterior application. The murals will be printed using a four
color process with UV cured inks on a 13 ounce front lit vinyl
material. The murals will be stretched over an aluminum
square tube reinforced frame. The exposed perimeter frame
is painted black and measures 2½ inches wide. The UV inks
provide protection from fading even in installations with
direct sun exposure on a year round basis.

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse
Mural Narrative
Immigrants were crucial to the development of the US economy. In the early 1900s people
came from Eastern and Southern Europe—Bohemians, Lithuanians, Italians, Russians, Greeks,
Hungarians, Austrians, Poles, and Eastern European Jews—flooded into the United States
looking for opportunity and work. Often unskilled and with limited English, these workers found
work in agriculture, factories, ironworks, and steel industries. They labored long hours. Within
neighborhoods, institutions like taverns brought people together with offers of fellowship, food
and drink.
Today BJ’s, a contemporary American brewhouse follows that great tradition. Our restaurants
are welcoming, energetic and fun. Our culture of striving to say “yes” to every request from our
guest helps us to earn their loyalty and trust. We have the commitment and courage to put
quality and absolute guest satisfaction ahead of cost. We do whatever it takes to consistently
and correctly serve great food, beer and beverages to our guests. We understand that when
our guests choose to spend their hard earned dollar at one of our restaurants they deserve the
best.
Our murals celebrate these turn of the century pioneers and continue to remind us of our
commitment to our guests.
