Update on the 6th Street Underpass Mural Restoration Project

Update on the 6th Street Underpass Mural Restoration Project

by Larry Janezich

Posted July 19, 2021

Volunteers continue the work of the restoration of Byron Peck’s Piet Mondrian style murals on the walls of the 6th Street, SE, underpass which began in mid-June.  The effort was initiated and is being led by ANC6B Chair Brian Ready who says he expects work will be complete by the end of August.

Ready is looking for volunteers (no experience necessary) to help; work sessions on are on Saturday mornings from 9:00am until 11:00am.  Those interested in participating in the project can email Ready at www.anc6b.org

Support from Jim Guckert and Guerilla Gardeners https://bit.ly/3xcJ51P brought volunteers and funding from the Awesome Foundation.
