Waynesville Public Art Commission
for their annual fundraising event. Your ticket supports the commission of a
mural highlighting the historic
Pigeon Community Multicultural Development Center. It guarantees a fine dining experience, handcrafted by local chef
Nicholas Peek from
Birchwood Hall Southern Kitchen
and mocktails by Sam Kearney and the

The WPAC has partnered with the PCMDC for almost a year to
develop a theme for the mural that would illustrate the historical and
cultural significance of the Pigeon Community Multicultural Development Center. The artist, Kristy McCarthy is from East Harlem, New York, and a professional muralist and
community organizer who utilizes her work as a tool to build community
awareness.
Built in the 1950s, Pigeon Street School was tasked
with educating rural America’s black community until desegregation in
Haywood County introduced a chance for local cultures to begin learning about
and understanding one another. Since this time, Pigeon Street School has
evolved into a bright epicenter driven to embrace an inclusive spirit and
atmosphere of learning and sanctuary while serving the local community
