New North End Art

Despite the rain, local artists Rachel Dotson and Mary Mann were joined by residents and business owners to publicly dedicate two bright new pieces of art in the neighborhood. After speeches and goodies, lots of hugs were exchanged before everyone headed for drier spaces.

Artist Rachel Dotson noted in her speech that she once lived in Ruston and found the area full of beautiful flowers and warm, welcoming people. It was that spirit that inspired her "Ruston Garden" mural; bright, open and full of life. Thanks to both artists for their gift, and to the businesses who allowed their walls to become works of art!
