Another icon in the mix: Artists add Ali to B&G Club environs

Another inspirational icon appears on the walls at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club thanks to some artsy teens.

Another inspirational icon appears on the walls at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club thanks to some artsy teens.

Luke Silliman and Shailah Wood, both 15, with Teen Room coordinator Luke Kisena, worked for about four hours using a projector to create the 25-foot-painting of Muhammad Ali.

“We’re trying to fill the club with inspirational people,” Kisena said.

The latest mural, in a series by the club’s Keystone Club and Paint the Town program, faces a mural of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. club members worked on last year.

Silliman said they painted Ali in three parts and “it’s basically a giant stencil.”

The mural serves in conjunction to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, Kisena said, and they plan to paint a similar King mural in the Port Angeles Club.
