Mural dedication set for Friday

Share

The community is invited to the dedication of the “The Old Swimming Hole” mural on Friday, June 24, at 6 p.m. at Leslie’s Pool & Spa building, 1905 Main St.

Those attending can meet the artist, Thom Guerra, and receive an autographed copy of the mural as a souvenir. Local wine and appetizers will be available.

This is the second mural to be located outside the Old Town area of Ramona. As with all the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project works, at least one heart icon is hidden in the rendering for pedestrians to find while they view the mural.

Guerra was 13 years old when he starting learning the sign painting trade from his mother. When customers asked if he could add other subjects, his repertoire gradually expanded into mural painting. Now, with 30 years of experience he has painted murals throughout Southern California.

The mural is funded by County of San Diego Community Enhancement funds and the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project Board of Directors. Anyone wishing to donate $100 or more will be listed on the plaque to be placed at the mural site and on the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project website.

For more information, call Elaine Lyttleton at 760-787-1102.
