The Atlantic/Cape May Vicinage will dedicate a mural on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 11 a.m. in the Family Court waiting area on the second floor of the Atlantic County Civil Courts Building, 1201 Bacharach Blvd., Atlantic City.
Tyrone Hart, artist and Atlantic City resident, donated his work.
Assignment Judge Julio L. Mendez said, “This is a very special moment in our courthouse. Our vision of having the waiting area to be a child friendly inviting place becomes a reality. I am particularly grateful for the dedication of artist Tyrone Hart to make this stunning mural bright, inviting, and uplifting for our court users.”
The mural extends over four walls and measures more than 500 square feet. It portrays several well-known Atlantic City attractions, including the Atlantic City Boardwalk and beach, the Atlantic City Lighthouse, the Steel Pier Ferris wheel, the Atlantic City Aquarium, and the beach patrol headquarters. The mural also includes an illustration of a child reading a book in the children’s library and a signature scroll from the 2012 National Adoption day celebration.
