Community members, artists, members of the Mayor and Council, and city staff gathered Nov. 10 to celebrate and dedicate a new mural along the Beall Avenue roadway in Rockville Town Center. The street festival featured a community chalk art activity on Gibbs Street and celebrated the mural project, which used a $25,000 grant from the Bloomberg Asphalt Art Initiative and funding from Rockville’s Art in Public Places to revitalize the Beall Avenue streetscape with color and creativity.
Attendees met the mural artists and got an up-close look at the mural, as well as traffic-calming features and other safety improvements made by the city that create a safer Beall Avenue between MD 355/Hungerford Drive and North Washington Street.
