St. Joe Today and Silver Harbor Brewing Co. have partnered together to bring a permanent mural to the Silver Harbor Brewing Co. building, located at 721 Pleasant Street.
St. Joseph Today started the mural project in 2018, the week leading up to Chalk the Block, with a permanent mural on the back of the Welcome Center building and continued with two temporary murals on the bluff stairs, one installed the summer of 2019 the second this past summer.
All three pieces were commissioned and painted by Houston, Texas based artist Anat Ronen. A second permanent mural was commissioned by Minneapolis based artist Shawn McCann in the fall of 2019. This mural can be found on the back of the Holt Bosse building, located in the 100 block of State Street.
Amy Zapal, executive director of St. Joe Today says, “This time around they partnered with Tampa, Florida based artist Kumpa Tawornprom. We were very excited to work with Silver Harbor Brewing Co. to continue the mural project in downtown St. Joseph. This latest addition is located on the east side of Main Street and continues to expand the footprint of downtown.”
St. Joe Today plans to continue the ongoing mural project in the spring. “The murals have been well received by the community and we can’t wait to plan more.” said Zapal, “Projects will continue in the spring and early summer, weather permitting.”
