Director Meri Joswiak said the center’s board of directors set a goal to repaint the exterior of the nonprofit’s facility on Nelson Court and incorporate artwork along the way. They had discussions with Joe Hedges, executive director of the nonprofit Pullman Arts Foundation, about working together on the project. Hedges pitched them the idea of doing a large, colorful mural to completely transform the building’s industrial white and gray walls. A team of artists led by Lee Sekaquaptewa finished that mural recently.
