EDITOR’S NOTE: I just happen to be at a meeting at Bay City Hall last week and I noticed some folks with paint-splattered coveralls. I’d come in from the south to City Hall, but when I left I headed north – and the view of this brightly colored mural had me stopped in the street. Kudos to the artists and Bay City for the addition of this wonderful masterpiece. See below for a link to Pioneer photographer/videographer Don Backman’s video with retiring city manager Liane Welch about the mural
Everyone traveling along Highway 101 by the north end of Bay City noticed a significant development last week. Following months of design work and preparation, artist Hope Montgomery (@hopedmont), joined by assisting artists Lexi Adams and Amy Montgomery, invested about 80 hours of time painting a 1,000 square foot wall with a vibrant mural.
The side of City Hall facing Highway 101 is now an attractive advertisement for the City of Bay City, depicting many of the elements we are proud of in our town.
The next step will be landscaping with flagstone and a bench so that more can enjoy the mural. This project was made possible thanks to grants from Visit Tillamook Coast and the Bay City TLT program.
