[Durham INC] Pictures of Cosmic Cantina murals & painted trash can lids on Ninth...

[John Schelp]

Town-gown-merchants working together...

The Old West Durham Neighborhood Association worked with NC School of Science & Math students and Ninth Street merchants to paint the trash can lids on Ninth Street and murals in the stairway to Cosmic. 

Each student painted their own trash can lid. The bricks in the murals echo the Erwin Cotton Mills -- along with sunflowers, poetry, a sunrise and the rest.

Many thanks to the student painters, Carol at Vaguely Reminiscent for contributing supplies for the projects and Bepi at 9th Street Dance for help organizing the murals.
