Art Mural Dedicated at Happy Hill Gardens Mart
A Mural depicts good
and bad choices in life
By DAVID L DILLARD
CkromicU Suff Writer
Residents of Happy Hill Gar
dens and members of SECCA dedi
cated an art mural on the side of the
newly renovated Garden Mart
recently to shed a positive light on
the community. &
SECCA's Options II paired
African- American artist Juan Logan
with residents of Happy Hill to paint
a concrete drawing (that shows the
choices or "options" that people
have in life and the consequences of
those choices, said Alice Burton,
SECCA associate education coordi
nator.
Logan begah his workshops in
June to guide residents in complet
ing the drawing he calls "Freedom's
Bridge." The drawing shows an
upper level filled with knowledge,
wealth and happiness in life, while
the bottom level starts'off with the
illusion of wealth. But the journey
takes you through drugs, other vices
and possible death. The liaison
between the upper level and the bot
tom level is the church.
"It s about choosing the^ight
path in life,* Logan said. "But as
you see, there is a ladder from the
underworld going through the
church. Just because this is where
you started doesn't mean that's
where you have to end up, you
always have a way out through the
church."
Although the messages are
implied in the painting, Logan said
he wants the mural to serve as a
reminder of the choices people
have.
"I want parents to think about
their kids and when kids see it, I
hope they see themselves in a posi
tive way," he slid.
Logan was chosen from a
national search SECCA conducted
to find a mural artist who had
worked with kids before.
"Working with him has been
great," Burton said. "It was much
easier with him because most of the
people haven't had a lot of exposure
to art. He was so encouraging."
The "Freedom's Bridge" con
cept was developed with reference
to drugs and teen-age pregnancy to
symbolize things they could relate
to. "They want people from inside
and outside of Happy Hill Gardens
to be proud and see how far the
community has come," Burton said.
