VIDEO: Mural unveiling today at Children's Museum

Anonymous News Release The Tribune Star Fri Oct 05, 2012, 01:36 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — The public unveiling of the mural "Flightful Fantasy: We Can Fly, We Can Fly!" is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today, Oct. 5, on the third floor of the Terre Haute Children's Museum at Eighth Street and Wabash Avenue.

Created by David Erickson, professor emeritus in the Indiana State University department of art, the work demonstrates our known history of flight in reality and fantasy. It is a creation of the artist with help of local children and ISU art students.

The art department invites the ISU community to join in the celebration for the unveiling of the mural, produced through the Gilbert Wilson Memorial Mural Project and supported by ISU's Energize Downtown initiative.
