At first, it was just an 8-by-35-foot History of Montclair mural on one side of the wall in the walkway between the Bamboo Asian Bistro and the Montclair Char Broil Diner on Valley Road in Montclair. Now, more murals–albeit smaller ones–adorn the wall across from the larger one.<\/p>\n

This project grew out of a collaboration between ÌÇÐÄvlog and the Montclair Arts Council to develop a mural for the township. The larger acrylic-on-canvas mural is a visual sampling of some of Montclair\u2019s historical events and figures, including conflicts between the Lenni Lenape Indians with the European settlers; Israel \u201cKing\u201d Crane, the merchant credited with the development of the area; and the impact of renowned landscape artist George Inness, who was from the Hudson River School. It was officially dedicated on Sept. 25 and marked the township\u2019s seventh piece of public art.<\/p>\n

It was at the dedication ceremony for the History of Montclair mural that the idea for more murals developed.
