Join the Mural Painting Team – Tuesdays & Thursdays

Posted on July 21, 2024 by Gary Haliski

The mural at the Irving Grange is well on its’ way to becoming a reality. Now is your chance to add your painting skills. It’s easy – in fact, it’s paint by number. Our friends at Mural Mice Universal, led by Maggie Dewar, will provide everything you need and give you a helping hand if so needed.

You never know who is going to show up. Today we had the 2016 Old Slug Queen, Eugenia, holding her paintbrush between her antennae. Eugenia was accompanied by 2024 Slug Queen contestant Sitara T Slugshine. Everyone present had the feeling that Sitara is certain to be future royalty.

Bring some friends and paint. Five years from now you can say, “I helped paint that”.
Painting is every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6 at the Irving Grange at 1011 Irvington Drive.

Painting the Irving Grange Mural is easy, it’s paint by number.
It’s going to be a beautiful mural.
