Social Justice Center "PEACE" Mural

Please help a new mural come to life on Willy St!

A new mural honoring the life of Tony Robinson and others with connections to the Willy St neighborhood who have died through violence was approved Monday May 11 by the Landmarks Commission for the rear of the Social Justice Center, 1202 Williamson St. 

The mural will be a celebration of life on Willy Street. It will depict no violence, no guns, no 'RIP.' It will show people in happy moments - skateboarding, sitting on the front porch, playing the guitar - activities anyone in the neighborhood would do.  The mural is being administered by the Williamson Street Art Center.

The lead artist for the mural will be Madison artist Kelty Carew, who has worked on collaborative murals and public memorials professionally for more than 10 years. Shadayra Kilfoy-Flores will lead mosaic work. 

Funds raised will be used for honorariums for the artists, for food and supplies for neighborhood and Wil-Mar youth who will work on the mural and for related expenses. The mural will be completed over the summer, with public painting days to be announced.

Anyone interested in participating in the mural should contact Sharon Kilfoy. Family members who are interested in having their loved one included in the muralare encouraged to contact Kilfoy.
