Sponsored by ONE MLK did a Mural when the G20 summit was in Pittsburgh in 2009
The main organizations who planned the trip were the University of Pittsburgh Center for Latin American Studies, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the MAC in Brasil. The scholarship is called Art and Culture.
We here at the MLK Community Project would like to take some time out and thank all of the great people who have been helping us out throughout this mural season. We realize it has been quite busy and strenuous for all the participants, and we appreciate you bearing with us for the time being. This includes all of our sponsors, all of the great kids from all of the great neighborhoods, all of the business owners, and all of the people who have been loving what we have been doing for the community. The MLK Community Project could not exist without YOU! So, THANK YOU!
Pittsburgh’s own POP CITY has written a glowing report on the influence of the MLK Community Project in the city. We would like to thank everyone who has been enjoying our work and giving us positive feedback!
The Penn Mac Building in the Strip District is looking good thanks to the MLK Community Project. We would like to thank all of the great people over there for allowing us to do this mural. It came out very well and is already getting a lot of positive feedback.
On July 25th, 2009, a ceremony was held to dedicate the newly finished mural on Mt. Oliver. Local representatives, artists, and onlookers alike were treated to this affair. Head Honcho Kyle Holbrook, Art Director Lucas Stock, and Artist Douglas Brunner were on hand to share a couple of words on the podium. The mural looks great and is sure to make a splash with all of the locals. GREAT WORK!
