Hannah Gumbo applies a coat of paint to the side of a building on Walnut Street that will eventually become a mural funded through a $5,000 grant from the Acadiana Center for Arts ArtSpark program and Lafayette Economic Development Authority. Gumbo, which is the artist’s working name, was assisted by Terry Meyers, shown on the scaffolding in the background. Gumbo said color should start appearing on the wall this week. She plans to complete the mural by the end of the month. (Photo by Harlan Kirgan)
