Elementary school invites community to help in mural painting

Phillip C. Showell Elementary School, in Selbyville, will be hosting a mural painting project in partnership with local artist John Donato.

This event will take place during the week of September 19-23, and all Phillip C. Showell students and staff will join Mr. Donato in paining a large landscape mural in the school’s main hallway.

The school will also be having a special “Pop In and Paint” event for parents and community members on Thursday, September 22 from 5-7 PM.

Organizers say that families and community members are invited to visit the school at any time during these hours to help paint the mural.

This project is supported, in part, by an Artist Residency grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
