This project is the second phase of a multi-phase mural and mosaic on the side of the LynnArts building in Central Square, Lynn. The first phase is complete, and consists of a three-dimensional gateway created in mosaic during residencies with middle and high-school students in Lynn. Around this gateway, the artists have painted a contemporary scene of Lynn. The upper two-thirds of the mural are yet to be painted. The design consists of two arches depicting some of Lynn's famous characters, and the natural beauty of city's woods an beaches.
