Have you seen this amazing mural located in the alley walkway leading from 605 Valley Road to the back public parking lot in Upper Montclair? It’s the latest work of Montclair State University’s Department of Art and Design Mural Project.Â
The most recently installed mural, “Painting Adversity,” is dedicated to the works performed by Montclair’s not-for-profit community organizations, based on a concept of Prof. Julie Heffernan and student collaborators to recognize “local heroes.” As an example of the organizations’ various missions of service, the students focused on Partners for Women and Justice, a non-profit which provides free legal assistance to victimized women and their children.
I’d love to see more of these around town. I hope this one is more weather resistant than the last even though it took sandy to bring it down.
