The Community Revitalization Section celebrated the completion of the first mural under its new Paint it, Fairfax! program. A ribbon cutting ceremony was officiated by Supervisor Jimenez on Saturday, October 28th. The mural is located on the east facade of the ACCA Child Development Center and adjacent to the Eileen Garnet Civic Space. The mural, in conjunction with the development and programming of the Eileen Garnett Civic Space, is part of a larger placemaking strategy to enliven and build pride in the area. The mural was developed by renowned Italian artist Pepe Gaka. His intricate work was hand painted to represent the amazing diversity of Annandale and the native plant species that are present in the Civic Space’s educational garden.
