Porter Street Mural Project
Crazy weather has slowed down Tricia O’Neill’s progress on the new mural, but we’re getting close to the finish line! Keep an eye out for Tricia’s final touches on Tony Millionaire’s drawing of the Big O. Vincent Ferrini is patiently awaiting the company of his old friend. We plan a special signing event later this fall, and hope Tony Millionaire can make it to Gloucester to sign the second mural in person! Huge thanks to Tom Lance and the Brass Monkey, Winnie of the Pilot House, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council for their generous support.
