5. A Bright Future

The figures reveal a bright river scene to create a feeling of uplift with a contemporary modern view of Ellsworth. The full color of this reveal indicates the community's hope for a future where Ellsworth faces the river once again.

The artist thought it essential to reveal the river in the mural's center along with the town's name - Ellsworth, Maine. So many people visit here from other parts of the country and the world. When they take a photo of the mural, it shares Ellsworth’s history, and current activities that bond the community, creating interest in the town itself.
