ORLEANS— The new Downtown Mural, created by Chloe Houston, a senior art student at Orleans High School, will be dedicated during the Dogwood Festival.
Chloe created the idea in art class last year, and her design was chosen for the mural. Her idea is also the 2024 Dogwood Logo and will be on the Dogwood Tabloid. The dedication will be on April 24th, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. in the Gateway Park across from the Orleans Bandstand.
Friends and community members are welcome to attend.
The mural was designed in art class under the instruction of Dr. Leah Morgan, edited and printed by Nikki Deckard of HD Graphix, and placed in its downtown location by town employees.
It was partly funded by a Simmons/Tegarden grant from the Orange County Community Foundation and other grants working with Robert Henderson, Randy Clark, and the Town of Orleans.
Please help celebrate this mural for our town. It will be a photo spot for Orleans.
