This project will create a new community mural under the Holman overpass at the 9500 Block of 8th Ave NW. The mural will be created through a collaborative design and painting process that will include Urban ArtWorks youth, Base Crew artists, professional teaching artists, and residents of the Crown Hill neighborhood and surrounding community. The project will include cleaning and preparing the wall, designing a mural through community input, and painting the large-scale design on the wall on several volunteer Community Paint Days in early summer 2026. The anticipated project complete date is 9/30/2026.
