Mi Sol Wall

As mentioned in a previous post an artist interested in painting the front wall of Mi Sol was invited to attend the last Committee meeting.

He did attend, bringing with him some examples of his work. He explained there would be no cost to Mi Sol as he was sponsored by other people, notably certain businesses in the town.

Discussions were held about what would be the most suitable theme for the wall.

A vote was taken, and it was unanimously agreed to let him and his friends carry out the painting, he was then given a letter of authority to allow him to proceed, subject to our agreement on the content of the work.

He has agreed to return after completing his current commissions, with drawings of his proposals.

Graffiti on the wall has been a perennial problem, but experience does seem to show that where walls are decorated by established artists , the vandal element tend not to deface it.
