Mural almost finished!

Please see the video showcasing the FINAL painting day on the Great Wall of Summit located on the NE corner of 10th St NW and Fulton Rd NW. On July 16 residents, members of CBP Board of Directors, and representatives from ArtsinStark, City Council and the Arts Academy at Summit School worked together to finish the mural! Many thanks to each and every person that has participated in this project! A huge thank you to JP Morgan Chase Foundation and ArtsinStark for their contribution to make this neighborhood art project a reality!

Coming soon!

Here is the mock up of the Summit neighborhood mural design that I will finally be starting when the weather breaks and the final seal is completed on the wall. The wall is 150 feet x 7 feet located on 10th street and Fulton Ave, by the Arts Academy at Summit. I will have help from the residents in the neighborhood and students from the Arts Academy at Summit--as well as any friends who feel like coming out and painting with me!

After discussions with different residents, I came up with this design that visually shows the concepts of transformation and renaissance that came up so frequently.

The design is a transition from macro to micro. The street grid of the neighborhood transforms into the houses of the community, which then transforms into the individual people that flourish with the arts.

I hope to start by the second week of May and finish by the end of June.
