School Murals
About the project
We are helping bring public art and education about the importance of nature and pollinators to local schools, beginning Abraham Lincoln School. Local artists collaborated with teachers and students to paint a public facing mural on their school.Â
The first mural was painted by students and Maine artists Peter Walls, and installed in September 2024.
Panels being created by Peter Walls using student artwork that the kids will paint this fall.
Bangor Beautiful president, Annette Dodd, and local artist, Peter Walls explained the project in this video shown to students.
Students then created dozens of images that Peter Walls assembled into a design (shown below) that was outlined for students to paint when they returned to school in the fall. Students from Bangor High School helped out on the last day, working with K-3 students to finish painting the mural
The Location
The first School Mural was installed at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School on Forest Avenue, facing Chapin Park.
