This isn’t just a paint job; it’s a massive community mosaic. Led by artists Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher, over 300 neighbors joined in to cover these 163 steps with handmade tiles. The design flows from the sea at the bottom to the stars at the top, shimmering in the California sun.

Fall In Love by Rebel Bear in Glasgow, Scotland. Love is a free fall. Rebel Bear shows us that even if everything is spinning, a kiss makes it feel like flying. Next, look at the red skirt. It pops like a secret on a gray wall.

Every vote of confidence is a building block towards our charity status and bringing colour to town and beyond for several years to come.

See the boom lift beside this gloriously empty gable end wall? 😍
It’s merely awaiting the arrival of the artist and team to deliver a massive mural overlooking Raining’s Stairs and the refurbished castle beyond.

We look forward to fulfilling this preforedestined timeline. 😉 🙏🏻✊🏻💫😁

We made the papers! Thanks to Inverness Courier for kindly covering the completion of our pilot stage first two murals here in Merkinch. Our artists couldn’t be in Inverness for the photo call due to work commitments. Positive responses keep coming in. More to come in 2026! ✊🏻💞🎨💫✨
