Whimsical Harmony: THE MURAL at ClearWater Arts
In 2024-25 Jonathan completed his 98-foot mural, “Whimsical Harmony” on the exterior wall of our Original Clearwell building (which is next up, for Renovation!) - a project funded by a grant from Republic Services Foundation’s “Neighborhood Promises” grant program and administered by Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte. Grauel was inspired by many local landmarks and community members as he explored the area. He populated the mural with several of them, and continues the theme of communities cultivating concord, in this solo exhibition of paintings and 3-D works.
