Artists this week are painting a mural inside the pedestrian tunnel under Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek, and local teens are invited to volunteer to help.
High school artists were to participate in a group paint event 4 to 8 p.m., April 10, and they're to return from 10 a.m. to noon, April 14. The mural is to unveiled at 10 a.m., April 21, to coincide with the Johns Creek International Festival being held in the city that day. To volunteer to paint, go to: https://bit.ly/2GKzfOt
The Johns Creek Convention & Visitors Bureau partnered with Atlanta artist William Massey and the Urban Catalyst Lab to bring Indian artist Hanif Kureshi to the city to design and paint the mural, officials said. It will be Kureshi’s first completed work in the U.S.
The CVB and Urban Catalyst previously asked residents to contribute their memories about Johns Creek to possibly become part of the tunnel mural. The tunnel extends under Medlock Bridge from the Johns Creek Village Shopping Center to Panera Bread.
