“The Preservation of History through Community Art”

 

Before November 2005

G. Winston Dobbins Park Today

G. Winston Dobbins Park and the mural Winston's Dream was sponsored
 by the Lyons Chamber of Commerce and completed by volunteers who
took pride in their community to make this happen!!

 
 

From cave painting to art indigenous to other cultures we find out much about who they are or were. Art often depicts everyday life to be enjoyed by those in a community. In fact anthropology and other disciplines studying other cultures rely strongly on their art form. It seems everyone expresses something using community art.

 


 


"I think the best part will be when it gets put up," said LaChanda   Mills, a Lyons junior who hopes to return next week to  continue working on the mural.  She believes it will help people appreciate the community's history. "And it brings us together because you have a lot of different generations here working on it," she said.


 

How refreshing to see a mural!  A mural showing life at an earlier time.  A mural celebrating life in a contemporary time.  A mural that shares with us, as an alternative, to forcing us to either buy or act upon suggested urges
