Village of Waunakee Mural Project Announcement and Public Call for Historical Photos

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 22, 2016

Village of Waunakee Mural Project Announcement and Public Call for Historical Photos

Contacts:
Sharon Kilfoy, Dane Arts Mural Arts Director – 608-658-3736 / sharon@willyart.net
Todd Schmidt, Waunakee Village Administrator – 608-850-5227 / tschmidt@waunakee.com

Waunakee Furniture ETC, Dane Arts Mural Arts, and The Village of Waunakee are pleased to announce a community mural project. The new mural will be located on the west facing outside wall of Waunakee Furniture ETC and will be completed in 2017. The mural will highlight and show off the talents of area artists and beautify our community with high quality public art.

Community members are invited to be an important part of the process. Specifically, with the theme of the mural being "Old Waunakee Main Street at the Turn of the Last Century”, we are seeking historical photos featuring people and Main Street scenes that could be replicated in the mural design. Anyone interested in submitting photos for consideration may drop them off at Waunakee Furniture ETC, 121 W. Main Street, by December 30, 2016. Please include a note with whatever known details there are about the photo subject and content (including actual or estimated date if available), along with instructions on how to return the photo to its source.

Local artists, community members, and the Waunakee Area School District will also have an opportunity to be involved in the painting process. More details will be provided as progress is made on the design. Individuals, organizations and businesses in the community who may be interested in participating as a financial donor to help bring this project to life are encouraged to contact Village Administrator Todd Schmidt (contact info above).

Dane Arts Mural Arts (DAMA) is a public art program by Dane Arts that trains local artists to become community artists who use mural-making to beautify neighborhoods and make a difference in the lives of youth. DAMA empowers artists, neighborhoods and youth to become change agents, collaborating on projects which physically and socially improve communities. Since 2015 DAMA has completed numerous murals focused on under-resourced urban and rural communities throughout Dane County. Learn more at daneartsmuralarts.org.

Halloween Safety

Please drive extra cautious in the neighborhoods and watch out for pedestrians. The following are some safety tips for parents and children: 

 

• Teach your children how to properly cross a street. Only cross streets at crosswalks. 
• Help your child pick out or make a costume that has eye holes large enough for good peripheral vision.
• For greater visibility during dusk and darkness, decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car's headlights. Bags or sacks should also be light colored or decorated with reflective tape. Reflective tape is usually available in hardware, bicycle, and sporting goods stores.
• To easily see and be seen, children should also carry flashlights or glow sticks.
• Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling.
• If your child is carrying a prop, make sure the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on.
• Know the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them.
• The safest idea is to have an adult accompany kids. If you’re not with the kids, be sure to set a time they will be home by. Make sure they know how important it is for them to be home on time.
• Children should not enter homes or apartments unless they are accompanied by an adult.
• Teach your kids about not getting into strangers cars or talking to strangers, no matter what the person says to them. Explain to them as simply as you can that some adults are bad and want to hurt children, that they should never go into a house that they don't know, get into a car or go anywhere with a stranger. Also, tell them what to do should this happen, to scream as loud as they can to draw attention and to run away as fast as they can to some place safe.
• Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
