Paving the Way to a More Beautiful Downtown

Local artists have accepted the challenge to decorate the wooden fence around the construction site. All this week, they'll be painting colorful murals as part of a Birmingham art competition. You can vote for your favorite starting Saturday, May 12th, at bit.ly/2018bhamart. Winning artwork will be displayed in downtown Birmingham at the completion of the construction project.

Here are some who were working today:

NOTE:

I will visit the Old Woodward Construction Project every week to take new photos for you, so be sure to come back to Birmingham Patch for updates and a link to full-size images.

REMINDER:

Even during the construction months, Birmingham Shopping District is open for business. Support our local merchants and restaurants!
