NEWS BRIEFS: Lawrenceville plans its linear mural on Jackson Street

The Lawrenceville Arts Commission (LAC) is launching the city’s first community mural project to transform a main throughway along Jackson Street into an artistic area. The mural, to be created by artist Teresa Abboud, will be located on the low wall adjacent to the Post Office between Pike and Crogan Streets. 

The project began last December with an open call urging local artists to submit designs for a 1,867-square-foot mural with a portion designated for community participation.  

Mayor David Still feels: “The community mural is a wonderful example of the creativity and unity that defines Lawrenceville. We are proud to plan this collaborative work that highlights the diversity and spirit of our city.” 

The mural project will be done from September 5 to September 7, during which Abboud will begin the “paint-by-numbers” style outline framework. Community members are invited to register to paint alongside her. There is no charge to participate. These hands-on sessions allow residents age 13 and older to leave their mark in Lawrenceville. To ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone involved, space is limited to 10 participants per time slot.
