About the new Carrick Mural on Brownsville Road.
The north facing wall of Vern Gillenburger’s building will soon display a mural provided by the Sprout fund. While art is in the eye of the viewer, this project was a result of many hours of discussions with the Sprout fund and artist Phil Seth.
Our past history and our name Links us to Carrick au Suir, Ireland But we are not all Irish. Neither are we, the “Native American Indians” who lived here in time past. When " we " look back to Ireland, or to our past, We use those places and times; to decide what we do today and where we will proceed next.
We realize that; we are the residents and caretakers of Carrick. We are a working community, currently trying to improve our lives and appearance; with clean ups, trees, tree trimming; new trash cans and possibly, more murals.
Please feel free to join with these efforts; when your time allows it.
Many facets for the mural were suggested and considered. We are hoping the mural provides a simple view of Carrick; to those who drive thru. For those who live here and walk by it; there are smaller details to enjoy and ponder.
Those of us, who attended those meetings, hope that this new mural depicts Carrick’s family values and Carrick’s hometown feeling.
