Mural underway in Belleville

As part of next weeks "Paint The Town" community volunteer effort to repaint all the buildings in a 10 block area along West Main Street in Belleville, IL, a group of artists gathered on Wed(10/6) morning to help paint a new mural designed by Bill Evans, a member of Southwestern Illinois College art & design faculty. Once the scaffolding was up Bill began to color code his design for others to fill in with brushes and rollers. By midday about 30% of the design was covered. Mural wall is on North Illinois about two blocks from the square.
