Join us for an exclusive and interactive preview of a stunning new mural on the Hub RTP site! This event offers a rare opportunity to not only see the artwork before it’s revealed to the public, but also to be an active participant in bringing it to life. You will have the chance to join muralist Mayanthi Jayawardena in a community paint day, where she will guide you through painting specific portions of the mural.
Please note, Hub RTP is currently a closed site, so this preview and painting day is a special occasion, best suited for adults.
Although we won’t reveal the mural’s full rendering or name just yet, you can expect a fresh and vibrant piece that explores themes of growth, landing in a new community, and blossoming into something beautiful. Get ready to “step into” this new chapter with us at Hub RTP!
