SUMMARY:Pinetree Plaza Mural Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join Halpern Enterprises\, Inc. for a Community Mural Celebration Event at Pinetree Plaza on July 9 from 10:30am – 12:00 p.m. \nBuford Highway has a new landmark\, a vibrant and colorful mural reflecting the diverse community of Doraville. The mural\, painted by Atlanta artist Leah Abucayan\, is a part of a larger partnership between businesses\, like Halpern Enterprises\, Inc. and the City of Doraville to bring new and exciting public art to Buford Highway. \nEvent highlights include: \n\nRibbon Cutting from Mayor\nAuthentic food flavors from Buford Highway\nArt supplies for families from Doraville Art Association (Dart)\nScavenger hunt\nCOVID vaccination trailer from Dekalb Health\nAnd much more\n\nMatthew Oppenheimer\, Director of Acquisitions at Halpern Enterprises said\, “After seeing the impact murals have had in other communities\, we jumped at the chance to bring a mural to Pinetree Plaza when we learned about Doraville’s new public art ordinance. We saw the mural as an opportunity to celebrate the cultural diversity along Buford Highway through the lens of the different cuisines represented along the corridor\,” Oppenheimer went on to say\, “It has already been so gratifying to see the way people are embracing the mural\, and to see the meaning people are finding in the images. Whether it be people identifying their favorite foods along Buford Highway\, to others reflecting on the role these dishes and this corridor played in their family’s journey as immigrants to this country\, this mural represents so much of what makes this community a special place.” \nHalpern Enterprises\, Inc. believes in the power of arts and culture to inspire creativity and spark collaboration. Without the integral partnerships of The City of Doraville\, Living Walls\, and We Love Buford Highway the beautifully designed mural\, and the enormous community engagement\, would not have been possible. Public art has the power to reshape the way people experience spaces\, and Halpern has seen this firsthand with the Pinetree Plaza mural. \nWith the creative talent of students and alumni at Cross Keys High School\, Halpern Enterprises will be participating in the City of Doraville BuHi Walk crosswalk project\, spanning 2.5 miles throughout the corridor\, by designing colorful walkway art carrying pedestrians from the sidewalks in front of Pinetree Plaza to the mural. This partnership would not have been possible without the dedication of the following Cross Keys staff: Denise Quintana Equity & Student Empowerment Director; Federica Teodori Art Teacher\, and Catalina Valdez Cross Keys Alumni. \n  \n\n\n	From the archive:
