Wall Poems of Racine #8. Photo by Ralph Tunstell
An excerpt from Monica Wilson’s poem "Rooftop" is featured in Wall Poems of Racine #8. Sofia Lefeber created the design in Professor Carey Watters’ advanced graphic design course at UW-Parkside. Building owner Fox Grace provided a wall of their building for the mural, and Dean Tawwater of Tawwater Sign Company painted the mural. Wall Poem #8 is located at the Pawstar RE building at 1236 13th Street, on the north facade of the building visible from Washington Avenue.
This wall poem is supported by a grant from the Uptown Racine BID and a donation from Jeff and Mary Siuta. Additional funding came from the Osborne and Scekic Family Foundation.
