Kassie Silva, a Goodyear high school student, was awarded a $10,000 scholarship after being selected as the winning artist in a community mural competition tied to the opening of the Pluto Energy Storage Center.
Silva, a senior at Trivium Preparatory Academy, was recognized during a public ceremony marking the launch of the new energy storage facility developed by NextEra Energy Resources in partnership with Arizona Public Service, the city of Goodyear, and the West Valley Arts Council. Her mural was unveiled at the site as part of the celebration.
Speaking to city leaders, energy officials and community members, Silva reflected on art as a guide through personal growth and change.
