Arlington Recreation Center Mural Update
After sifting through the survey respondents feedback, the artist, Roberto Maxwell, tried to incorporate as many elements as possible. What do you think?
Of the 75+ people who attended the South Side Slopes summer picnic, the biggest feedback was to incorporate some animals into the forest. Please let us know if you have any further feedback for us!
We are hoping to finalize the design and present at the Pittsburgh Art Commission for review in September.
