HAZEL PARK — The Hazel Park District Library is receiving a fresh new look. At press time Sept. 18, work was underway on a massive mural on the building at 123 E. Nine Mile Road. The painting, estimated to measure about 60 feet by 25 feet, occupies the
angled side of the library closest to John R Road, making it also visible from Nine Mile Road. The artist, Zach Curtis of White Lake, started painting the week of Sept. 6. He specializes in aerosol and acrylic painting and has gained recognition across the U.S. and Mexico for his large-scale building murals and canvas paintings, describing his style as “painterly realism.” See MURAL on page 6A
