On Saturday the Bryn Mawr Mural Arts Class held their Community Paint Day at the mural wall on Health Center #4. The day brought together folks from Bryn Mar College, Parkway West High School, Health Center 4, and the surrounding community to start painting the mural!
The day officially started at 11 and ended at 2pm, but no one wanted to put down their brushes when the day was over. Anyone could help paint the mural, all you needed was a brush and to follow the 'paint by number' set-up of the wall. In addition to working on the mural wall there was face painting, pumpkin painting, chalking, oral histories, food, and music to keep everyone entertained.
The day was a great success and everyone is excited to see the rest of the mural come together!
