Abstract:
Artists are painting murals on the sides of buildings in a number of North Carolina towns. The murals are specific to the communities and the people who live there. In 1976-1977, Asheboro had a mural painted as part of its bicentennial celebration. The mural depicts a street scene from the turn of the century, complete with plank road and a bicycle-built-for-two. Cynvia Arthur, who was Randolph County's artist-in-residence, was the lead artist, assisted by artists Louise Culler and Audrey Beck. The mural took eighteen months from design to completion.
