The first section of a planned five-panel public mural took shape this week, as dozens of children at Buckingham Elementary School in Berlin worked with muralist John Donato for several days.
The effort started last Thursday in Melissa Reid’s art classroom, but progress was pushed back by the winter storms. When finished, the panel will go on the north-facing side of the Berlin Visitor’s Center on Main Street.
“The progress by these kids has been fantastic,” Donato said. “There’s a lot of energy and a lot of good ideas. The staff has been great putting the whole schedule together, and we have volunteers from around the community coming in.
“We’re really moving along,” he added. “Because of everybody’s participating, we’re able to put a lot more paint into this project than we anticipated, so it’s going to be really something to see.”

Mayor needs to sell admission to see this to make up for the 500,000 mistake and the 2.4 million they are wasting at Tysons. Kept everyone in dark and just changed purchasing procedures so we can no longer see purchase orders at town meetings
ReplyDeleteHow disappointed this children will be when this mural is taken down in several years because by then I'm sure it will offend someone!!
