Joel Bergner is the lead artist. He also painted the original three versions of Filipe’s Story. Since that first mural Joel has traveled across the globe painting murals in at risk communities through the non-profit he founded, Artolution. The mural we are painting on BloomBars is a true community mural project in that several local artists of all ages participated, including third graders from Harriet Tubman Elementary. And the six faces on the upper portion all represent leaders in our community, and people who have helped BloomBars from the beginning, including Baba Ras D, Marta Bohorquez and Gowri Koneswaran. The old man at the end is my father who sadly passed last week. A tribute to the seed he planted in me and BloomBars.”
