About
A new mural will soon grace Tacoma’s streets – literally. The chosen site is the intersection of South 39th and J Street in the Lincoln District. It’s part of a community-inspired mural project called Paint the Street, and is one of 11 creative temporary projects funded by the City of Tacoma’s Lincoln District Revitalization Project.
The colorful artwork will be created by local visual artist Dionne Bonner. This original work will be painted directly on the pavement using non-toxic traffic marking paint. It will cover the entire intersection with a vibrant mural reflecting the character of the Lincoln District neighborhood. The design was created by Bonner, based on considerable input from people living in the neighborhood.
This public art piece is the result of a months-long collaborative process between neighbors, the City of Tacoma Arts Commission, the Lincoln District Revitalization Project, and the artist.
