Sheliga Mural!

By Cory Riordan

Have you seen the beautiful mural on the side of Sheliga Drug Store on St. Clair Avenue just east of 55th Street? If not, make sure to drive, walk or meander by and see it. The mural is titled “Community of Rhythm” and celebrates the diversity of the neighborhood with flags of the many nationalities as well as depictions of people playing instruments from these nations. The City of Cleveland ’s Mural my Neighborhood program produced the mural. The program pairs professional artists with aspiring youth artists from the City of Cleveland to create murals. The end result at Sheliga’s is amazing and the St. Clair Superior neighborhood is greatly enhanced by this wonderful artwork! Grants from the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation, the Bruening Foundation, Key Bank, and the Dominion Foundation, fund the twice-weekly afterschool classes and field trips, as well as the stipends youth participants receive to create the Mural.
