Alberta Ct. Crossing Mural Update

Hi Folks, After a few summer delays, we are moving forward on the Alberta Court Crossing wall murals.

We finalized the matching grant contract with the Regional Arts and Culture (RACC); and received additional support from Central Northeast Neighbors (CNN) through the Cully Association of Neighbors (CAN) for graffiti protection.

Our resident artist, Loey Hargrove, is applying the mural outline—to walls cleaned and primed by neighborhood volunteers--and we will begin painting when the weather cools.

We now have a another fun way for you to contribution to this project.

Suggest an inspirational word to add to the mural.

In addition to the image, the mural incorporates words inspired by the theme and location. The inclusion of words, generated and painted by members of the surrounding neighborhoods, reinforces the symbiotic relationship between the commercial district and the community.

You can suggest a word by following the link at the following website:

If you like what you see, please consider making a financial donation to help us with the matching funds for the RACC grant. You can make your donation at the US Bank branch at NE 42nn and Alberta Court. Checks should be made out to the 42^nd Avenue Main Street Collaborative.

Thanks for your ongoing interest and support.

Bob
