From Rebekah Gewirtz's e-mail newsletter:

Upcoming Meetings: Wall of Respect to Women Mural – October 25, 2006 6:30pm

Our first meeting about the Wall of Respect to Women Mural was on October 3, 2006. The meeting was very well attended and there was interest in the community to go forward with a community process to work towards a new mural at the Brooks Pharmacy site. The project will not be cheap but we have the help of Artists for Humanity and Art Builds Community so we may have some luck in advancing a new mural – but no guarantees yet!

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 25, 2006 at 6:30pm at the Field House in Powder House Park. At this meeting we will begin to discuss possible women who should appear on a new mural and approaching the community dialogue. Please come to this meeting if you can!

For more information, call Kate at 617-776-4704 or Julie at 617-625-3164.

If you're in the minority, I'm there with you. And I'm probably in the very-minority of people who generally don't like murals at all, but I do understand the desire to do a little beautification. In any event, I hear you on the cheesiness factor. My old roomie and I constantly joked about the woman who seemed to be in the middle of giving birth, baby's head popping out and all.

Although, I guess I shouldn't complain if I didn't go to the meeting about it. OK, time to update my calendar!

oh...you are not alone in not liking muruals. What they tend to be these days are (imo) rather tepid "messages" in a rather banal graphic style. They have nothing in common with any of the great mural traditions.

I think it would be cool/interesting if Brooks had a mural of their floorplan on that way... ;-)
