Bijou Park Mural Project

A statement from the artist
-
"Commissioned by the Arts Council of Wilmington, North Carolina, this mural serves as the "last piece" of a newly renovated historic space in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Originally the site for North Carolina's first movie theater, Bijou Park is now a connecting corridor linking their Main Street to the river front and a convenient, beautiful respite from the city's hustle and bustle. The narrative pays homage to the movie theater while highlighting North Carolina's natural "jewels" (Bijou means small, precious jewel), and offers a nod to this pocket park as downtown's newest "hidden gem." This massive piece, now downtown Wilmington’s first large-scale mural, had a community component in which over 500 mostly local people helped paint the mural over the course of a weekend." - Anón
