This community’s “Most Patriotic Village,” slogan will now become the theme of a downtown mural.
Council, at its Aug. 13 meeting, approved a recommendation from its economic development committee for a $2,500 grant for the mural to be painted on the north wall of Sussmans at 143 George Street.
The grant is part of the public arts grant program.
“The proposed mural ties into the theme of Canada’s Most Patriotic Village and will be completed by a local artist,” business economic manager Dale Small stated in a report to council.
“Seventy-five percent of the funding will come from the Arthur Murals Committee with the remaining 25 percent being applied for under the public arts grant program.
The Arthur Murals Committee is using funding received earlier this year from the Farm Credit Canada – Agri Spirit Program.”
Council approved the grant.
