About the new Carrick Mural on Brownsville Road.
The north facing wall of Vern Gillenburger’s building will soon display the Carrick 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 with artist, Phil Seth. Our past links us to Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland but we are not all Irish. Neither are we “Native American Indians” who lived here in time past.
As the current residents, we realize that we are the caretakers of Carrick. We are currently trying to improve our lives and our community; with clean ups, trees, tree trimming; new trash cans and possibly, more murals. Please feel free to join us in these efforts; when your time allows.
Many facets for the mural were suggested and considered. We are hoping the mural provides a pleasant view of Carrick to those who drive through. For those who live here and walk by it; there are smaller details to discover, 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. Joe Krynock July 4th 2008
