The downtown Asheboro mural project is part of the Randolph County Public Library’s “Express Yourself @ Your Library” Teen Summer Reading Program, but adults also can express themselves on two Paint Nights, 5-8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, July 22-23.
Adults can sign up to paint by visiting the Asheboro library, or contacting Teen Services Librarian Amy Keith Barney at 318-6824, or akeith@randolphlibrary.org.
The colorful mural, created by painter and art teacher Cori Cagle, depicts a dawn-to-dusk vision of Asheboro landmarks such as the library, the municipal building, the old courthouse, the Sunset Theatre, Acme McCrary and more on the 200-foot arced wall on the west side of Church Street at Academy Street.
Keith Barney conceived the project, and Trees Asheboro is providing funding via a Grassroots Art Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council through the Randolph Arts Guild.
