Deep Eddy Mural Project
History is in the making at Deep Eddy Pool this summer! Students from nine different middle and high schools all across Austin have begun creating what will be the largest mosaic mural in town. This mural will transform the concrete ramp that connects the pool’s parking lot to the Lake Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail into a portrait of the pool’s long and rich history that stretches back to 1915.
Under the auspices of Friends of Deep Eddy, art therapist Wanda Montemayor and ceramic artist Lisa Orr have begun holding workshops in local schools to teach the art of tile making.
You can become a part of this transformation by coming to any of the Deep Eddy Pool Film Nights and making your own tile. Your $10 contribution will help pay for the costs of the mural that is a project of the Friends of Deep Eddy. Pool nights are June 26, July 10, 17, 24, and 31; August 7 and 14.
Why we love Deep Eddy
You might ask why we put so much energy into improving a pool. This video captures some of the reasons why we, and many in the community, care so much about Deep Eddy. The file is quite large, so be patient while downloading.
