A Ponchatoula High School Student puts the finishing touches on this years mural entitled "Ponchatoula Celebrates The Arts". Featured this year will be the dedication of two new visual arts projects in Downtown Ponchatoula. Mike Fulmer of Berryland Motors is erecting a brick wall that will be painted by PHS art students which will become a mural that will be unveiled at the festival. At 9:30 AM., "Jam" Chair Dr. Ted Hudspeth and Public Arts Commission Chair Kim Zabbia will pull the wraps from a 72' x 8' mural entitled "Ponchatoula Celebrates the Arts." The mural, funded by Mike Fulmer and Berryland Motors, will be located at the east end of the car lot on a 14' high wall built specifically for this purpose. The work was designed by Robert Dyer and Sarah Burleson, advanced art students at Ponchatoula High School, and painted by "Zab's Kidz," a group of PHS art students whose mission is to enhance the city through visual art. Zabbia is also the art instructor at PHS. During this ceremony, Mrs. Irma Thomas, The Soul Queen of New Orleans who was born in Ponchatoula, will be presented the second annual Lifetime Achievement Award from the Northshore Regional Endowment For The Arts. She will also be inducted into Ponchatoula's newest attraction, The Louisiana Museum Of Music & Arts Hall of Fame. |
