NEW MURAL UNVEILED Chesapeake Arts Center (CAC) recently unveiled its first large-scale mural on the exterior wall of the Center’s Studio 194 theater. The mural was designed by the artist Oliver James with assistance by an all-female roster of artists from Future History Now. Brooklyn Park Middle School students from CAC’s after school Teen Club helped paint the mural. The striking piece of artwork depicts noted author and civil rights activist Maya Angelou and the quote “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Visit chesapeakearts.org for more information.
