Charles North Community Association

A 36’ x 40’ collaborative mural painted with the artist known as Nether for the Charles North Community Association. This mural was funded by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council and is located in the Station North Arts District. We engaged with community members to determine content including historical landmarks, native plants and wildlife. Defacement of murals has been a huge problem in this district so we worked with the community to develop a successful vandalism abatement strategy. We hired a talented and locally respected graffiti artist to incorporate his work into the design and three years later our mural remains one of the only murals in the district that has never been defaced. Painted with a combination of Sherwin Williams acrylic latex applied with a Graco airless paint sprayer and Montana 94 spray paint.
