My Involvement in ArtWorks

So today I attended a meeting that was scheduled to allow for a presentation of one of this summer's murals.
The final design is completed and the apprentices have all done their research about the area and the purpose behind the mural. I am on the neighborhood committee that has generated the discussions in choosing the lead artist, talking about what kinds of things we would like to see included in the mural design, giving feedback to the lead artist on the preliminary designs, and explaining to the non-artist residents how all of this mural stuff works.
Today we met with the group that will be painting our mural for us. There were 8 apprentices, a lead artist, a working artist, a photographer, the liason from ArtWorks, the veterinarians who work in the building being painted, and local neighbors who have been a part of the planning committee, like me.
The apprentices each did a great job of presenting their part. The final image is beautiful. And we had an awesome Qdoba lunch courtesy of the neighborhood committe who has been our sponsor, of sorts - Price Hill Will.
The mural will be about 1 1/2 blocks from my house so I will get a chance to see it evolve.
I thought about you, Maddy and KNOW you did a good job on your presentation! What a great job to have for summer. But Man! It is going to be some hot work on some of those days!!
