A group of University of Maryland students painted a new mural at the Art Works Now building in Hyattsville.
Located at 4800 Rhode Island Ave., the arts education center recently partnered with architecture and arts students at the university to design and paint the mural last fall.
Titled “The Garden of Imagination,” the colorful mural features butterflies and Black-eyed Susans, and the state flower of Maryland, and is located on the patio of Art Works Now.
Art Works Now will officially unveil the mural at an event from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Feb. 16.
The mural is the latest piece of public art on the Route 1 corridor, which has seen everything from statues to traffic signal box wraps to large-scale murals added as part of an overall push to be more arts-friendly.
