A.C.C.E.S.S. Art and Gallery X artist volunteers came together to fulfill the Bullard Street Neighborhood Association's 2008 mission of beautifying the area near Taber Mill Apartments.    We worked together for several months, transforming a decrepit containment wall with the beautiful view from the City's shoreline South to North, to the delight and applause of senior residents and passersby.
 
Below are glimpses of parts of the mural at varied stages

and so it begins...
