Mural Celebrates Edmonds Lunar New Year Event

Edmonds, WA, has embraced its cultural diversity with a new mural commemorating the Lunar New Year, designed by Caitlin Chung, a senior at Edmonds-Woodway High School. The mural, titled "The Start of a Lunar New Year Tradition," was created in coordination with local artist Andy Eccleshall during the Edmonds Diversity Commission's Lunar New Year event on January 29. Chung expressed gratitude for the support she received from various community members, including Lina Luu and the Fuentes family, which enabled her to transform two sheets of plywood into a vibrant mural in just a few days. This temporary artwork is displayed on the fence of the Frances Anderson Center playfield along Main Street and will be available for public viewing until mid-March. The initiative not only celebrates the Lunar New Year but also fosters community spirit and collaboration.

Such projects underscore the value of cultural representation in public spaces and engage residents in meaningful ways. The Edmonds Diversity Commission continues to promote inclusivity and cultural awareness through events like this.
