Art Wing Mural/Storage Cabinets

 

From start to finish the Galena ARC art wing mural / storage cabinets has been a community-wide effort. This project shows what miraculous and beautiful things can happen when people give back to their community to make it a better place for all. Several talented, generous, and giving organizations, businesses, and individuals made this happen. This mural will enhance the art experience at the Galena ARC and inspire students for years to come.

 

The Galena ARC would like to thank the following people for Believing in Us:
