New street art is coming to Dayton, thanks to nine students The Miami Valley School upper school students!This week, MVS students installed a new mural at Mudlick Tap House, inspired by the building’s history and the history of the 19th century Mudlick Distillery.
Members of the upper school Art Ignites Change Immersion group painted the artwork on parachute cloth (polytab) during Immersion Term in January, then visited downtown to put the mural up in fair spring weather. The Mudlick mural is the first in Dayton to be painted using this parachute cloth technique.
Miami Valley School Teacher Linda Hallinan says the technique of painting on parachute cloth for multiple murals is used widely in larger cities. The students traveled to Mural Arts in Philadelphia to learn how to create the mural. 
Check it out on the side of the building at at 135 East Second Street.
The mural is part of a collaboration between the Downtown Dayton Partnership, Mudlick Taphouse, CareSource, Miami Valley School, and Mural Arts of Philadelphia.
