Youth to tell Edgewood, DC story through mural
Kristopher Owens/Contributing writer
Issue date: 7/26/09 Section: Arts and Entertainment
Project creators are convinced the mural could be inspiration to the city and commuters who ride the metro which passes directly off the future mural.
"It's about people realizing good stuff is happening in my neighborhood," said Krsko. "Being proud of their neighborhood, and caring and taking responsibility for the neighborhood."
Not only does the artist feel this way, but so do the students. "After the mural is completely done people will appreciate you did something good for the community," said McMillan.
The Department of Public Works is inviting business owners to apply for its MuralsDC program. Business owners can apply for a no-cost graffiti mural on the wall of their establishment to help deter illegal tagging.
These walls are typically private, business-owned, highly visible and have been the target of graffiti in the past. Information about this public program can be obtained from the MuralsDC Project, 441 4th St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 * (202) 727-3900.
