If you have driven into Wheaton from the south, you may have noticed a new, cheerful addition to the Downtown Pavilion area. It’s a vibrant wall mural created by artist, Peru143. The art’s look springs from his graffiti-art style that he’s been doing for almost 30 years. He created an eye-catching design of saturated, abstract letters that spells out “Wheaton” and welcomes visitors into town.

“Even in the depths of winter, we hope people walk by and smile when they see a little bit of sunshine,” remarks Randy King from Wheaton’s Fine & Cultural Arts Commission.
