Three colorful, outdoor paintings produced during the second phase of the Team Haverhill Mural Project will be unveiled at Sunday's KidsFest downtown.
Warren Gerety, co-chairman of the event, said unveiling the murals is a perfect activity to include in the day because children are involved in designing and creating the paintings, which are to be installed in a prominent downtown location.
To develop the murals, professional artist Susan Decker worked with 21 students in the after-school Discovery Club at the Nettle and Whittier middle schools. The students learned about famous people from Haverhill's past and translated what they learned into 7-foot images on wood panels.
Team Haverhill is an independent, nonpartisan, citizen action group dedicated to making Haverhill a better place to live, work and play.
