WATERTOWN â Dan Robbins, the artist behind the paint-by-numbers sets from your childhood, might have been proud of efforts to take the graffiti-filled retaining wall in the cityâs Veteransâ Memorial Riverwalk and create pieces of art.
Thatâs because the public will be invited to participate in a paint-by-numbers mural this summer along a section of the 20-foot-tall wall in the city park along the Black River. The paint-by-number will be the first piece completed along that nearly 500-foot-long wall.
After that first paint-by-number piece is completed, organizers plan about 20 murals in all that will be finished over the next few years, said Joseph Wessner, president of the Watertown Downtown Business Association, which is spearheading the project.
