Rockville Storm Drain Mural Project

Project Team
Shannon Philbin – City of Rockville, VisArts Artists: Henry Marnghitr, Lauren Lawrence, Sara Moline, Gaya Iyengar, Asian American LEAD – Julius West Middle School.
Project Description

The City of Rockville partnered with VisArts, a local art nonprofit, to solicit storm drain mural designs from local artists and pain murals on five, highly visible storm drain inlets in the city’s Twinbrook neighborhood. The project culminated with a walking tour for community members to join the artists and learn about the inspiration behind their murals as well as encourage conversations about pollution prevention and healthy streams.
