| Description: |
UPDATE: Due to inclement weather the mural unveiling has been moved from Thursday, November 15th to Friday, November 16th. The Town of Christiansburg will unveil its first-ever Town-sponsored mural on the front of the Christiansburg Police Department building on Friday, November 16, 2018. The public is invited to attend the unveiling at noon to hear the story behind the mural and meet artist Dave Mann. Sherwin-Williams donated all necessary painting supplies to Mann, who painted the mural on an aluminum-metal sheet that will be attached to the police department’s building. The Montgomery County Christmas Store allowed Mann to paint the mural in their warehouse space. The Town of Christiansburg is paying Mann a $1,000.00 stipend for his work, and Mann has chosen to donate that money to New River Stage and Christiansburg Institute. The mural is the latest in a roll-out of street art projects sponsored by the Town. Thursday’s mural unveiling will take place at noon outside of the Christiansburg Police Department located 10 East Main Street in downtown Christiansburg, VA.
