West Reading Avenues Spring 2018 - 27

Step 4: Joelle Ostich's Wyo-

missing High School Humanities
class will transcribe the stories and
create a walking map. The map
will also be available on the website, along with the audio stories
which will tie to each location using
a wayfinding system developed by
Justin. Bring your smart phone!

Step 5: Spring 2018!

Gather
and start the tour! Look for a
kickoff event, possibly on Cherry
St., the "ground zero" of public
art in West Reading. Have a porch
party or meet at a local restaurant
with your peeps and enjoy a stroll
through West Reading. Community
members and visitors will be able to
enjoy self-directed tours, discovering
this small but powerful art all over
town, until November or December when it will be de-installed.

Meanwhile...back at Wyomissing High
School, the Humanities students will
take it all a step further by replicating
the stories and weaving the brick art
images into a final masterpiece in one
location. It will be exciting to see what
they come up with. Possibly a final stop
on the WRMOTA tour?
Dean and Main Street manager Mark
Ratcliffe have been very supportive of
this special project. In fact Dean has
provided the first story about a cherished
object, a "gum parker," that was passed
down through his family. You can see
his brick art prototype, created by Mike,
on the website and later on the tour.
Mike also credits Nancey Seghetti, the
"art mamma of West Reading" as he
affectionately calls her, for paving the
way years ago. Nancey is behind West
Reading's frog sculptures (one of which
is in Mike's basement currently for some
repair work,) and she also started West

Reading's summer event, Art on the
Avenue. Mike hopes that WRMOTA
will ultimately get people to view their
city in a new and different way. I am
honored to have been approached to
provide a story of my own...see you
on the tour.
