The excitement builds for the AARP-commissioned mural, Celebrando Comunidad, by local artist Elizabeth Reyes in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood! TODAY, bright and early, workers started to remove the existing paint off the walls of a proud neighborhood establishment, Nuevo Leon Restaurant. This, and a lot of work to come, is in preparation for the greatly-anticipated mural.

Are you interested in watching the official unveiling of the new mural? If so, make sure you save the date for this exciting event on Friday, October 18th at 3:30 pm. Also, visit www.aarp.org/chicago to find about related these walls transform into a beautiful and vibrant gift to the community for decades to come!
