PERTH AMBOY ARTWORKS

To celebrate America 250, Perth Amboy Artworks has sponsored a 660 sqft mural located on the waterfront walk by Raritan Yacht Club.  Local artist Julisa Mugica designed the mural featuring a mermaid and aquatic life. The mural is in a high foot traffic area sure to be enjoyed by the community.

Production is underway and the mural will be ready in time for the summer celebrations. The project provides the opportunity to learn the art of mural making by high school interns working with the lead artist on the production.

The mural showcases the vibrancy and talent of our community and captures the joy, complexity and enduring legacy of the United States.

We appreciate the support of the Perth Amboy Arts Council, the Perth Amboy City Council, the Perth Amboy Office of Economic Development, the Perth Amboy Department of Public Works, the Perth Amboy Police Department and the Raritan Yacht Club and our all our donors. Looking forward to celebrating with a ribbon cutting and party at the Raritan Yacht Club! Details coming soon! Photos courtesy of the artist Julisa Mugica.
