People First Annual Mural Arts Contest: The contest was open to all Lehigh Valley residents with the intention of recognizing and encouraging the artistic talent in the region. Submissions were reviewed by a committee made up of People First Board of Directors and members of Allentown Mural Arts and the Allentown Arts Commission.
The winner, Sarah Karess, is an Allentown-native graphic designer and artist who is actively involved in the arts community. Karess’ concept for the People First window mural was inspired by quilled paper art created by her mother. Macro photography of the paper sunflower petals represents the importance of each member within our community. Her goal was to show our community the combined potential and beauty we can create together.
The winning artwork will be displayed for one year in the People First windows. In celebration of the opening, People First made a donation to Allentown Mural Arts.
