About the Project

The design for this mural began with a series of photos of the core group of students participating in the mural.   The theme of a garden fit the project well, as the students parents worked in agriculture and the location of the mural was one of the city's community gardens.  The student artists in this project worked diligently in the mural studio and guided community volunteers to help with the project.  Family and friends joined them at the Northeast Branch of the Reading Public Library to hear a bilingual presentation about the project and help paint a portion of the mural.
