FINISHED

Final painting day!!

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!

Gridding the Wall

The temporary grid aids with the drawing of the mural onto the wall.

Step 1: Black sealant applied to wall

Many thanks to Project Rebuild for fixing the cracks in the wall last fall and now sealing the wall this spring! It looks great!!

Rain, rain, go away!

This little icon, that seems to be showing up day after day after day, is unfortunately causing a delay in starting on the mural.

Resident Approved Mural Design

Here is the mural design by local artist Michele Waalkes that was approved by the residents of the Summit neighborhood. It is intended to capture the ideas discussed at the Summit residents planning meetings.

The design goes from the macro grid of the neighborhood streets, transforms into the houses of the community, which then transforms into the micro people of the community, and finally to the arts, highlighting the location of the neighborhood.
