The new mural, Seeds of Change, that Watertown High School students painted at Uncommon Grounds.
The Watertown Cultural Council will host a celebration for the new mural in East Watertown.
The WCC sent out the following announcement:
We will be celebrating the completion of the Coolidge Square Mural in a block party on Melendy Avenue on Saturday, Sept. 19 between 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. We hope to celebrate with the artists, neighbors, and shoppers in the square. In addition to the mural, we have two painted utility boxes with matching designs and a dozen big painted cut-outs of flowers and fruits that will be hung around the square.
This is a celebration of Coolidge Square as well as the mural. Students have interviewed many shopkeepers and we will have descriptions of both new and old generations in the square. Bring a chair and hope for nice weather. There is no rain date.
