Over the past weekend, Strangers Stop-N-Shop held their annual art show, but this time at the Merced Mall instead of their downtown brick and mortar shared with Grizzly Barber. Check out the sights and sounds of the gallery, and what some folks had to say about it being at the Mall.
The Ashby Flea Market had been a prime target for graffiti, often to the expense of the property owners. In an effort to curb the vandalism and property damage, Pastelles and organizers from the Meadowbrook Water Company decided the area would be a suitable location for a mural project. This serves the dual purpose of bringing art into the community while creating an atmosphere that would discourage additional unsanctioned graffiti.
