We are excited to see the return of Bright Walls muralist, Emily Ding, for a refresh of Lion and the Mouse at Jackson School of the Arts! Check out Emily's work at www.emilyding.art, and make sure to get tickets to meet the artist this Thursday at JSA (ticket link in shared post).
Checkout Emily's finished work, and help celebrate the beautiful energy Bright Walls continues to bring to Downtown Jackson during the Downtown Art Walk on September 5th from noon until 3pm. Follow the path to find art big and small!
A Bright Walls favorite is getting new life this week.
Artist Emily Ding is returning to Jackson to restore her 2019 mural, The Lion and the Mouse, a colorful piece inspired by the classic Aesop fable about kindness, courage and the impact we can have on one another.
Emily will be in town Wednesday through Friday working on the mural and helping us preserve a piece of public art that means a lot to our community.
This restoration is a partnership with Jackson School of the Arts. On Thursday, weβre hosting a patio party with Emily at the school. Ticket proceeds will support the mural restoration, so come hang out, meet the artist and help keep public art alive in Jackson.
Purchase your event tickets now and join us for an evening celebrating art, community and Emilyβs return to Jackson.
