Dugong, Narwhal, and Humuhumunukunukuapua'a Mural
In October of 2020, the Selinsgrove Pool received the first of its new murals, thanks to local teen artist and Selinsgrove Area High School student Isabel Proger, her team of teen artists, and START.
Using artwork done by former Selinsgrove resident Mike Bennett from his A to Zoo collection (https://www.atozoopdx.com/animals-a-to-zoo), Proger and her team created a mural for the south side of the Selinsgrove Pool building. Proger’s team consisted entirely of teen artists from the Selinsgrove Area High School with former START board member Chris Kalcich acting as the mentor.
Bennett currently lives in Portland, Oregon and has done work for Cartoon Network and Comedy Central, amongst others.
The mural was created as an effort to draw attention to the pool in hopes to increase fundraising for its needed repairs and updates.
Seven additional murals were added to the pool house during the summer of 2021 (click here to see more).
