New Murals On Main Street Underway At The Tower

BEL AIR, MD — An artist is at work on Main Street in Bel Air this week. He is painting murals at the Main Street Tower in a project funded by the Bel Air Cultural Arts Commission.

The project consists of two trompe l’oeil murals. That means they are designed to look real, using artistic techniques that create an optical illusion.

Jack Pabis of Frederick is painting the murals, and he also created the "Art Works!" mural on Lee Street.

The Lee Street mural is on the side of the Bel Air Armory.

Pabis is expected to be in Bel Air painting the new mural at the Tower through the end of next week, according to Angela Robertson, economic development coordinator for the town of Bel Air.
