Our Town - A Community Mural
Created in 2003 and refurbished in 2017, a true community project
In 2002 a group of five local artists gathered together to create the original art that became the “Our Town” mural.
The painting was expanded to mural size using a paint-by-numbers approach with many volunteers taking part. The original piece hangs in Wells Fargo Bank
The original work was sponsored by:
Ocean Beauty Seafoods
Petro Marine
Scandia House
First Bank
Seaport Gallery & Gifts
Wells Fargo
Lee’s Clothing
Viking Travel
Moose Lodge
Hammer & Wikan
Petersburg Chamber of Commerce
In 2017, the now faded mural was removed from the building and taken to the Elizabeth Peratrovich building and repainted.
Volunteers donated materials and time to refurbish the mural panels.
