Mural Project Set to Begin

The Beerline Trail Mural Project is scheduled to begin this upcoming Monday, July 20 at 11:00 am. Thanks to assistance we received from community partners in promoting the project and spreading the news to youth in the HGNI area, 15 youth applied for 3 available apprentice positions! 10 of these individuals were interviewed on Wednesday, and from the feedback I received from Artworks for Milwaukee and Reynaldo Hernandez, all the kids were terrific. We're confident that this project will be a positive experience for everyone involved, including the general public that will benefit from a piece of community art.

We'll do our best to keep everybody posted through the HGNI blog, but don't hesitate to contact me for any news or updates. You can reach me by phone at 414-906-9650 or by email at chrisg@riverworksmke.org.
