A new mural corridor along Historic Villard Avenue will be celebrated at an inaugural ‘Visual Vibes on Villard” event on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Alderman Ashanti Hamilton will be joined by community members and speakers from the Business Improvement District 19 at the Historic Fire House at 5151 N 35th Street.
“Visual Vibes on Villard”, is a project undertaken by the Business Improvement District 19 and managed by Wallpapered City, LLC, celebrating creativity, talent and pride in the Villard community.
“While the most exciting time during this mural installation has been seeing the incredible work of local artists unfold before our eyes, we’re even more excited to dedicate this event to celebrating the Muralists who have shared their amazing talent and given their valuable time to inspire within their own community,” said Villard BID Director Angelique Sharpe.
“We would also like to thank Wallpapered City for their hard work in helping the BID pull off a project of this caliber.”
A new “Little Art Library” with interactive coloring pages and word puzzles, was installed as a gift by the Wallpapered City staff.
The BID will be working with the Milwaukee Public Library- Villard Square Branch, to install a window gallery of completed coloring pages.
