Elberta mural project photo is a sketch of what will be painted on the side of a building on August 23. It shows night descending in darkness with a full moon and also a setting orange sun in Lake Michigan next to a forested bluff. In the foreground is a beach with people walking on it, a stylized Elberta Bluff with evergreen trees, a strip of green vegetation, more duneland and a flowering plant in the lower left corner. Muralist Ellen Rutt will lead the participatory project.
