Residents of the Union City community are invited to come out for a second painting session for another downtown mural.
The session will be held Wednesday, April 24, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Main Street Art Center., 7 N. Main St.
The event is open to all ages. Those wanting to participate do not need to preregister. They only need to show up. All materials will be provided.
This is the second of three painting sessions. The first was held on March 5 at the Union City Senior Center. That mural is to be placed on the side of the building at the end of the Ace Hardware block near the railroad tracks. The second mural will be placed at the Congdon Hotel.
The mural artists from the Looking Glass Art Project have provided an option for the public to be a part of painting murals in Union City. The artists are Tom Ferraro, Ed Grout and Steve Mikolajewski.
The Looking Glass Art Project is a project designed to encourage collaborative input by having participants tell their stories and then turn those stories into public art, according to a Looking Glass Art Project website.
The murals project is being funded by an Erie Community Foundation Shaping Tomorrow grant.
The murals are painted on polytab fabric and then applied to the wall. This is the same process that was used on the mural in the Municipal Parking Lot on South Main Street, which was done by Ferraro and Mikolajewski.
For more information about the April 24 session, call 814-882-2675 or 814-923-3666.
