Community involvement is important to us and when given a chance to participate in a project to brighten and enliven an area, we are inclined to give our support. So we did when the Parent Teacher Organization of the
Vartan Gregorian Elementary School, our neighbor at the other end of
Wickenden Street, asked us to help sponsor a mural on the blank wall of the school.
The project has been through two designs and we were given a look at the latest version by Michael Kolendowicz of Mamuth Murals. (A section of the mural is shown above.) Since the design had changed, the PTO asked again if we would continue to support the latest effort. Kate Keizler and Gina Mazza visited our office this morning with a printout of the future mural. Michael blended several colors into it to work with what he saw in the area and we're glad to continue our sponsorship. For a total review of this Fox Point area project, you should visit the artists' blog.
Mamuth Murals posted a detailed description of the design process and thinking going into the artwork. Getting the community to support these types of projects is important. The effort and coordination to include the communities feelings needs to be applauded. A
dollar breakfast and walk-a-thon is being held this Saturday to further support the project.
