Reader’s Festival Mural

Jennifer Koons, Cha-Rie, Melanie Yarak and Janet C. Panozzo

The Reader’s Festival Mural was created under the direction of artist Jennifer Koons, Cha-Rie, Melanie Yarak and Janet C. Panozzo; and commemorate City events or history. Professional artists prepare each project, and the individual tiles are painted by community members at City events.

The goal of the community efforts is to produce a long-term benefit for many future generations to enjoy. The trail has been developed with numerous amenities and features that serve to educate and honor the community. These features include the Peace Obelisk to honor victims of 9/11, the mosaic history walls in the Character Garden, the vibrantly painted butterflies, the Celebration Garden, the Wave Wall on the Upper Oso Creek Trail, and the community murals surrounding the Village Green.
