Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center is celebrating the installation of a new mural being added to
downtown Rutherfordton. Come join us on Friday, August 1st at 5:30 on 141 Central Street to welcome a
new art piece into our town and to honor the artists, students, and coordinators who made this Rutherford
County Mural Mentorship Program possible.
This collaborative public art project depicts the history of this land, our local food systems, and future food
security in a vibrant and breathtaking 8x30 visual story. Guided by a visiting professional muralist, this
past June a dozen Rutherfordton youth, and many community volunteers and artists, brought this vision to
life and now it’s time to admire their hard work. This mural explores public art as a tool for community
revitalization.
We are grateful for the co-sponsorship and coordination with the Rutherford County Food Council and the
Rutherford Visual Arts Guild. This project is supported by the Town of Rutherfordton and the North
Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Please RSVP to the Facebook event if you are interested in attending:
