POCOMOKE CITY — A new mural is in the works for downtown Pocomoke City, and residents are invited to help shape the project’s direction at a public planning meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Delmarva Discovery Museum. The Beach to Bay Heritage Area is organizing the mural effort, which will focus on the town’s Native American heritage. Members of the Pocomoke Indian Nation are offering assistance to ensure cultural elements are represented respectfully.
The goal of the meeting is to gather community input on the mural’s content, theme, and location. Public art projects like this one aim to reflect local identity, highlight history, and create welcoming public spaces. This mural is part of a broader effort to enhance the downtown area while celebrating Pocomoke City’s historic roots. The planning session is free to attend and open to the public. Light refreshments and dinner will be served. Residents are encouraged to participate in shaping the mural’s development and providing feedback that reflects the town’s heritage. Funding for the mural project is provided by the Maryland State Arts Council.
