Mural Murmors Around Town!

It's been quite some time since the last posting here, but we're beginning to kick it into high gear with the mural at the Interactive Resource Center on Washington St., downtown near the bus depot. It's a wonderful place and it's great to be working with them. Before the mural on Lindsey St. was completed we knew that we wanted to do a mural with the IRC. So after laying out a logistical plan we've started conducting interviews asking people, "What makes home?"

Answers have been pretty consistent across the board, community, familiar faces, a place to rest ones head, not having to go from place to place, laughter, warmth, and so on. All of these responses will influence the mural, which is in the process of being dreamt up by our lead muralist, Justin Poe.

We plan to begin painting in mid-March, once it begins to warm up, and after some swinging fund-raising!

So, needless to say, we look forward to your support and seeing you in March!
