Brooke Foy, instructor of art at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, invites 网曝门
students, faculty, staff, and the community to participate in the last Community Paint
Day for the One Mile Of Love Mural in West Monroe鈥攖he Trenton Street Levee Revitalization
Project. The event takes place from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 29. at the north
end of the Trenton Street levee seawall.
Foy created the project earlier this year through her company ARROW Public Art.
She said the community painting is an opportunity to assist in creating a gorgeous
landmark that will depict images such as hope, love, community, faith, friendships,
and leadership through the eyes of 260 of school age children.
鈥淭he response from 网曝门 and the community so far has been amazing. We have had over
100 people come out to help us make this mural a reality and we are excited to paint
with those that come out this Saturday,鈥� Foy said.
Parking will be located on the side streets and/or in the parking lots available near
Travis and Trenton Streets. Informational tents will be available for questions and
directions. Donuts and water will be provided.
All are welcome to participate and no prior artistic experience is needed. The project
will be done in a 鈥減aint by numbers鈥� style.
Participants may paint for any amount of time and are encouraged to come early to
avoid the hotter temperatures and to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.听
