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.
Check out the Watertown Arts and Culture Blog for descriptions of the mural work as it progressed and for updates. www.watertownpublicartsandculture.wordpress.com
