MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Children at a summer arts camp at Montgomery County Community College have unveiled their work at a local hospital.
The 18 foot long, 5.5 foot tall mural, which features silhouettes of each child at the camp, was installed at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery this week.
“The mural turned out great,” camp director and MCCC Galleries Director Patrick Rodgers said in a statement. “The kids were asked to do something fairly complicated. They did a great job. It was a nice effort by everybody pitch in and paint the silhouettes."
