Students selected to
create mural at area business
Eclection, a downtown Kemersville handmade
and vintage store, has Commissioned two students and
a graduate student from area high schools to conceptu
alize and paint an urban art mural on the side of
Eclection, which is located at 101 Armfield St.
The artists are: Kelsey Simon, a recent graduate
from Glenn High School; Amy Moret, a senior at
Reynolds High School; and Ivana Bogdan, a senior at
k e a g a n
High
School.
All three

art stu
dents at
the Career
Center.
The
mural is following a new wave of outdoor wall art that
can be found in large and small cities that are interest
ed in expanding their creative culture. Urban art uses
many different techniques, including spray paint,
stencils, moss graffiti and freehand painting. The three
artists plan to incorporate many of those techniques.
"We want the mural to be a collaboration of the
students, Kemersville business owners as well as the
community." said Chris Federico, owner of Eclection.
"Mr. Brent's Window and Pressure Washing have
pressure washed the wall and Classic Painting has
primed the wall for us. Because we feel so strongly
about recycling and of economic reasons, we are also
asking the community for any extra exterior paint they
don't need to bring it by Eclection. This can also give
them a sense of ownership."
The mural will take a few weeks to complete and
should be done mid-October. To see the progress on
the mural, go to the Eclection Facebook page or to
EclectionNC.com. To donate paint, bring it by the
store or call Eclection at 336-497-4822.
