The students included self-portraits of themselves at play in the modern half of the mural.  Mural project coordinator Robert Richards helped the students design and paint the latest mural. Sutter Creek Elementary School principal Sean Snyder was presented with a check for the art program at the school. Several of the other mural artists were present at Wednesday’s festivities to discuss their contributions and offer their congratulations. The Mural Project for Sutter Creek was begun in 2004 as part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration. Various themes and artists were chosen to complete 10 4-foot by 7-foot murals in 2004. Another 2 murals were completed in 2006. The murals illustrate themes including “Historic Churches and Cemeteries,” “Hard Rock Mining,” Cattle Ranching and Logging,” “Wells Fargo Stage,” “The Volunteer Fire Department,” and more. This thirteenth mural will be the final piece to the gallery of murals that circle the interior of the Sutter Creek Auditorium.
