Perth Amboy Artworks has produced a 660 sqft mural located on the waterfront walk by Raritan Yacht Club. We scouted the location for the mural to be in a high foot traffic area and the community has enjoyed watching the production.
Perth Amboy Artworks selected the theme would be iconic nautical and hired local artist Julisa Mugica to design and paint the mural featuring a mermaid and marine life. The piece features a sea turtle, jelly fish, a manta ray, sting rays, whales and a giant mermaid.
The project provided the opportunities to learn the art of mural making by high school interns working with the lead artist on the production.
“Our hope is that this mural project with intern opportunities becomes a model and helps to launch a mural arts program in our City” said Perth Amboy Artworks founder Caroline Pozycki.
We appreciate the support of the Perth Amboy Arts Council, the Perth Amboy City Council, the Perth Amboy Department of Public Works, the Perth Amboy Police Department and the Raritan Yacht Club and all of our donors. Looking forward to celebrating with a ribbon cutting and party at the Raritan Yacht Club July 15th. Photos courtesy of the artist Julisa Mugica.
