A dedication will take place during the Dogwood Festival for the new Downtown Mural created by Chloe Houston, senior art student at Orleans High School. Chloe created the idea in art class last year and her design was chosen for the mural. Her idea is also the 2024 Dogwood Logo and will be on the Dogwood Tabloid. The dedication will be April 24th, 2024 at 5pm in the Gateway Park across from the Orleans Bandstand. Friends and community members are welcome to attend!
The mural was designed in art class under the instruction of Dr. Leah Morgan, edited and printed by Nikki Deckard of HD Graphix, and placed in its downtown location by town employees. It was funded in part by a Simmons/Tegarden grant from the Orange County Community Foundation, and other grants working with Robert Henderson, Randy Clark, and the Town of Orleans. Help us to celebrate this mural for our town. It will be a photo spot for Orleans. Come and have your photo taken in front of it!
