Here's Where You Can Find Old Town Alexandria's New Mural

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Work on one of two new murals in Old Town Alexandria began on Tuesday, July 9.

The Old Town Boutique District spearheaded the effort to bring a new mural to the south side of the ALX Community building at 106 North Lee Street. The mural is being painted by Alexandria-based artist Meg Biram.

According to a statement from the Old Town Boutique District, the colorful design is meant to reflect the uniqueness and inclusiveness of Old Town. The mural received funding through Old Town Boutique District members, ALX Community, individuals and other sponsors. Anyone can donate to the project on its fundraising page.

The mural joins another up King Street painted in late June. The Butterfly Effect, is a part mural, part philanthropy project located on the side of the Bloomers store at 924 King Street. Through Sept. 8, anyone can take a picture with the butterfly wings and choose a charity for the project to give a donation to.

The location for Old Town Boutique District's second mural has not been announced. But if you're walking Old Town in the coming days, you just might see Biram at work on the mural.
