The mural on the side of the Muir building is nearing completion. There are just a few small touch ups that need to be added and we expect that part of the project to be finished by November 1.
The second part of the project will involve installing six 6×6 foot panels on the front of the building, featuring artworks by local artists.
This project is being sponsored by the Renaissance Park Community Association and we are exceptionally grateful to Andrew Muir for giving us the use of his building for this project, Main Street Car Wash for being so accommodating while we were working, to Jessica Ball from the Art Garage for leading the project, Nick Viera from the University East Neighborhood Association for handling all of the technical and permit issues, and artists Angey Goudie, Shannon Slaight-Brown, Keith Wilson, Connie Andrews, Jessica Benassi, Jonathan Gonzalez, Brenda Gentry, Natalie England, and Alec de Jesus for their contributions.
The Art Garage is hosting a gallery opening on November 7 (First Friday) which will feature art from the mural contributors. In addition, when the entire project is finished, we will host an unveiling/ribbon cutting, which everyone is encouraged to attend.
