ROCKFORD — A 12-foot-by-12-foot mural created by three recent Rockford high school graduates will be presented to the public at 11:30 a.m. today at 508 E. State St.
The work is a painting of words with a message that revolves around “be,” as in “be compassionate, be involved, be unique.” The 508 E. State Mural hangs on the west-facing outer wall of the 5 Spa building. The artists who made the mural are Paley Nordlof, Naomi Flores and Christine Rogers.
The ELEMENT, a city initiative to enhance the arts downtown while marketing and developing housing for artists, headed up the project with the help of Rock Valley College and financing from the Rockford Park District.
