The name of the mural is Creating Together. The design idea was supposed to take characters from different artistic organizations within this building and have one character represent each one. We have some ceramics going on. There's a dancer, there's an actor, there's a singer, and there's a painter. Each character is sort of helping the other character with their profession, kind of showing how all the art organizations are connected and kind of help each other out.

It was always built into the contract that the mural would last 10 to 15 years, and then we would revisit the project and see how well it's holding up. And then it was voted that they wanted to keep it the way that it was originally, which is great.

It's facing north and east, so it gets hit by the sun quite a bit. So it got some fading, especially in the black areas, which I'm covering up right now. So it definitely needed a restore work.

I think that's why a lot of big murals are wonderful because they can be these wayfinding, placemaking devices. So people can say, go to the big turquoise building with the mural on it if they don't know what this building is, because it becomes sort of that visual landmark.
