ArtWorks to dedicate Newport mural NEWPORT - ArtWorks and Art Machine Inc. will present “Tribute to Newport.” The mural was created by a team of eight young Apprentice Artists, one teaching artist and lead artist Kyle Penunuri of Florence. It is being painted on the wall of Combined Lock Services. The community is invited as they dedicate the mural to the Newport and Campbell County communi-
ties. The dedication is 5 p.m. Friday, July 29, at 1023 Monmouth St., Newport. A community event runs from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. It will feature live entertainment and celebrity grillers cooking up hotdogs and sausages. There will also be limited edition T-shirts for sale featuring the mural image and the signature of the lead artist. Proceeds from T-shirt sales will go
toward mural costs. ArtWorks, founded in 1996, hires young artists from the age of 14-21 to work as apprentices with professional artists on longlasting works of public art. Work on this mural, ArtWorks’ first in Campbell County, began on June 20 and its design features a number of prominent Newport residents, natives and frequenters such as General
James Taylor and Mildred Dean. It also features images highlighting Newport's history and ecosystem. According to Penunuri, “I have tried to depict the diversity of Newport history and portray the contribution Newport has made to history. I hope this mural can help bond the people of Newport to the physical place that is called Newport.”
