To the Editor:

The Arts Council of Princeton would like to extend its sincerest gratitude and appreciation to everyone who turned out in force on Saturday, November 9 for the Journey mural reveal and dedication. The mural, created by Marlon Davila, the fall 2019 Anne Reeves Artist-in Residence, is located at the corner of John Street and Leigh Avenue.  A special thank you to Mayor Liz Lempert and members of Princeton Council who joined us for the dedication of this mural, which celebrates the artistry and creativity prevalent in our town.

This project would not have been possible without the support of Timothy M. Andrews, who has generously underwritten the Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence program. The Arts Council of Princeton also acknowledges mural sponsors Studio Hillier, Kucker-Haney Paint Company, Jerry’s Art-a-Rama, and Smith’s ACE Hardware for their support of public art in Princeton. Great thanks go to Lupita Groceries for providing the perfect “canvas” for our mural, and who, along with Local Greek, provided delicious refreshments for the mural celebration. And most importantly, thank you to Marlon Davila for sharing your art with the community and for reminding us of the importance of encouraging dialogue and following one’s passion.
