Create a Mural Now

Lennox Mural Lennox street mural We're excited about our "Create A Mural Now" workshop that was just celebrated at Lennox Park. On August 26th, members of the Lennox community gathered in front of our spectacular mural called “Lennox Past, Present and Future.” Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas of the Second District cut a ceremonial ribbon with help from some of the kids who created the mural.

Our artist mentor Roger Dolin worked with artist Tim Cornelius and local children and adults in the Lennox community to create a 1,200 square foot mural of their neighborhood in the future. Virtually every image originates from one of the over 80 drawings produced by Lennox community members. Around 30 youth between the ages of 6 and 20 years were dedicated to designing and painting their vision of Lennox, with over 100 people of all ages helping out, including some Create Now volunteers.
