First downtown mural installed
The Downtown Auburn Business Improvement District kicks off its Open Air Art Program Sunday to raise funds to install a building wrap on the north side of Nash's Art Supply store, 12 State St., Auburn.
The event will be held from noon to 7 p.m. on State Street. Admission is $3, while children 5 and under are free.
Admission fees and proceeds from a raffle, among other activities, will be used to cover installation and production expenses for the building wrap.
Peter Maciulewicz, owner of Mack Studios in Auburn, has donated one of his works of art, "Field of Hope," which depicts a field of irises. It will be the first mural installation.
Through the Open Air Art Program, BID hopes to install at least one mural a year.
