Last week, our JM Mural Artist, Greta McLain of GoodSpace Murals, spent a week with our JM Community listening, asking questions and learning a lot about JM. She asked questions like ... How do you want people to feel when they see the mural? (this is represented in the word cloud)
Please consider donating to support this JM Community initiative. On our Mural Website, you can find information about public art, the artist, ways to be involved, and how to donate. The Mural is entirely funded through grants and donations. Please consider supporting us!
