ArtStart Artists Paint Murals on the Windows of Junior Achievement's Exchange City
With the opening of its Exchange City summer camp approaching, Junior Achievement of the Palm
Beaches contacted ArtStart to ask if we could round up some volunteers to paint the windows on
the sunny side of the Exchange City campus. We were more than happy to help. Thanks to the
talents of Jeannette Parssi and Wellington Landings students Andrea Erickson and Madison
Romesburg, and Paul Michael Calvani, a 6th grader at Watson B. Duncan Middle School in Palm
Beach Gardens, the windows look marvelous (and the kids won’t bake in the sun!).
