Over the last 5 weeks, students from Martin Luther King Jr Middle School participated in an after-school program in Jefferson Park. Their nature-inspired mural is nearing completion. Guided by Open Space Education teaching artists and professional muralists, Auz Miles and Birdie Oleniacz, students learned the process of creating a mural by photographing elements of nature found in the park, working together to design the composition, and collaboratively painting the outward-facing 24-foot x 8-foot stage wall of the Jefferson Park Stage House.

The director of Open Space Education found the perfect moment to photograph the beginning of the stage house mural.
