Belmar Barrier Mural Project

The town of Belmar has asked the Arts Council to help lift the spirits of our residents, especially those near the beachfront. For the foreseeable future, large cement "Jersey" barriers will be blocking access to Ocean Avenue at A street. There are about 14 of these barriers on 7th to 20th Avenues, and we'd like to make them look fun and upbeat.

Most of the barriers were assigned in the first six hours of the announcement of this project (on Wed. December 5th), so it seems this is very popular! You will find more information about the project here as we get underway.

Thanks to Belmar Paint & Decorating (511 Main St., Belmar) for donating 20 gallons of blue paint being used as undercoat on all barriers, as well as several dozen brushes! And thanks to all the volunteer artists who stepped forward to help raise the spirits of Belmar’s residents and visitors!
