Takoma Park Seeks Community Input On New Mural

TAKOMA PARK, MD — A new mural will go up at the Takoma/Langley Crossroads this spring, according to city officials. The mural will be painted on the side of 1337 Holton Ln., across the street from the mural created in 2015.

The Takoma/Langley Crossroads Development Authority hired the Krsko Group to create the new mural. These companies are both owned by JBGR, which gave its approval to the project.

The artists want to hear from the community and brainstorm possible themes for the new mural.

The artists will show past projects, discuss how the artistic process works and present their vision for the mural.

These discussions will take place at two community meetings at the Takoma Park Recreation Center. The first meeting is Friday, March 17 from 6-8 p.m.

The second meeting is Thursday, March 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and the artists will present an updated sketch based on ideas from the first meeting.

Residents are encouraged to create stencils or paintings representing their ideas for the mural and bring them to the meetings.

For more information, residents can call 301-445-7910.
