BETHEL — The Bethel Mural Project, a community public art installation, will be painted on all four walls of The Gem Theater, 48 Cross St., from June 12 to July 1.
The mural will be designed by Ryan Adams, a professional artist from Portland. Adams has painted dozens of murals in Maine as well as other states. He has a background in traditional graffiti which led him into more formal signage and large-scale murals.
As a community-based project, The Bethel Mural Project will need many volunteers to help install the mural. All are encouraged and invited to participate. Social distancing, masks and scheduling will be required for participation. Adams will also be available for an artist talk and reception, with specific details to be announced.
The mural is made possible with support from The Onion Foundation, Maine Community Foundation, Maine School Administrative District 44, Rotary Club of Bethel and private donors.
Those interested in participating may email BAAM Coordinator Kate Webb at: coordinator@bethelareaartsandmusic.com or visit www.bethelareaartsandmusic.com.
