Artist Brenda Ehly has begun installation of Duluth’s new mural titled ‘Dream Big’ with the help of community volunteers. The Duluth Arts Commission sponsored mural going up on Hill Street in downtown Duluth, is helping recruit volunteers to participate in the installation.

No artistic experience is required just a willing spirit. Open to 8th graders through senior citizens. Follow the mural’s progress and sign up to help with the mural installation here: www.artistic-remedies.com/blog/.

According to the artist, the mural will depict a cohort of ants embarking on a routine mission while one lone ant dares to dream on a grander scale meaning “the day-to-day checklists of life can sometimes feel like pushing a boulder (or an olive depending on one’s stature) uphill.”
