From Anne Frank to Marie Curie to Rosa Parks, the mural honors the countless amazing women, past and present, well known or under-recognized, who through their important achievements have shaped the world we live in.” Twelve of the sixteen Work in Progress mural panels were on view at Granary Arts through September 17, 2021.
