People who hang around downtown a lot are likely familiar with the iconic “Life Is Sharing the Same Park Bench” mural by John Francis Morrell (pictured), commissioned by the late mayor Carl Stokes and completed in 1969.
To celebrate its 10th year, LAND Studio, which supports public art and design in Cleveland, is restoring the mural and re-dedicating it this Saturday October 9 @ 12:15pm at East 9th and Rockwell. Following the ceremony, there will be festivities from 1-3pm at the Eastman Reading Garden of the downtown Cleveland Public Library, including yoga, roller skating, make-and-take crafts from Upcycle Parts, and a food truck.
