The incredible new mural by Michael Rice Art that celebrates and represents the deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing community was unveiled on Monday in the heart of The Square🤩

A beautiful new mural is coming to Blue Back Square! 🎨✨

This incredible mural project, being painted on the public library in Blue Back Square, celebrates and honors our Deaf/Hard of Hearing and DeafBlind communities. More than just a work of art, it serves as a powerful educational message that promotes awareness, inclusion, accessibility, and community pride on a larger-than-life scale.

We are excited to see our community represented through this meaningful collaboration. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this vision to life and helping make our stories, experiences, and culture visible for all to see.
