The upcoming new mural for the Antique Sandwich Company will be done by another local artist, Mary Mann. This mural is fully funded by the West End Neighborhood Council, one of Tacoma's neighborhood organizations.

Only the locals will get to watch the colorful new mural unfold on the canvas of Ruston Market's wall. Owners are taking advantage of the reduced vehicle traffic of the tunnel closure to spiff up the store. New awning was added last week, a new sign this week and a brilliant, bright new mural is in the works.
The mural is partially funded by the Cross District Association - the umbrella organization for all the local business districts. A second mural from the same funds will begin on the side of the Antique Sandwich Company soon.
If you miss your drive thru the tunnel and into Ruston, venture down the cul-de-sac that is now 51st Street for a great milk shake and check out progress on Ruston's newest art-in-progress!

Nice idea .. it gives a colorful view to all the people who seen this corridor .. very talented thanks for sharing
The "Art in the District " matching grant is provided by the Cross District Association;Ruston-Point Defiance Business District provided the match. We (RPDBD) applied for the funds along with 4 other districts ~ RPDBD was granted "partial" funding for the mural(artist Rachael Dotson) on the Don's Ruston Market wall. There is a shortfall of $825 which we are seeking other "monies for art" to pay the remainder.
The Antique Sandwich Company will have their mural(artist Mary Mann) installed soon and it is fully funded by a grant from the West End Neighborhood Council.
I am so pleased to have the opportunity to brighten up our community and do hope all love it as much as I do!
