We have a WINNER!

 

The "Growing Together" Mural contest winner is: HEIDI LUNG!!! 

Here is an excerpt from her Artist Statement: "The theme of my design includes hands emerging from the soil holding vegetables, fruits and flowers. These hands represent the diverse people of our community, from past and present. The hands also symbolize our community, working together to create not only a beautiful space, but dedicated to the process of staying connected and working together."

Better yet is Heidi's process: 

Public Painting and Art Happening, Collaborative Process with the Community
Under the direction of the artist, children and adults will be given the opportunity to paint parts of the mural in a “paint by number” style in order to maintain the overall vision and continuity of the art.  The artist will coordinate volunteer artists and Northern Arts Council members from the community to assist with public events.

Public events could include one or all of the following possibilities:
1) A booth at the Ferguson Farmers Market
2) OFW Garden Children’s Event, May 8
3) an artist event/party with community artists at the artist’s home.

Heidi's winning sketch won't be shared. ;-)

Stay tuned for the installation of the final mural on the last Saturday of May!
