The call for artists to design the 46th Street Mural Project has been narrowed down to three finalists. On Tuesday, March 2, the community is invited to meet artists Susan Brown, Todd Lown and Kristen Ramirez at an open house where they will each share their ideas for a mural to brighten the underpass under Highway 99 (Aurora Ave) at 46th Street.

The project received an award from the Department of Neighborhoods’ Small and Simple Projects Fund in January. Some guerrilla art appeared on Thursday afternoon, reminding people of the project that is slated to begin this summer. The hand-painted signs mark the area near where the mural will be created.

Tuesday’s meeting to meet the 46th Street Mural Project finalists is at the Fremont Abbey (4272 Fremont Ave) from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and will also be an opportunity for the artists to hear what the community would like to see. Light refreshments will be provided by Lighthouse Roasters and Marketime. For more information and updates on the project, visit their Facebook page. (Thanks to Kirby for the photos!)
