The maquette depicting the mural designed by Elyse Taylor.
______________________________________________________________
















The mural, "A Dream Grows in Brooklyn" was designed, organized, and executed
by Elyse Taylor. It was commissioned by City Arts, and sponsored by the Snapple
Beverage Company. Painted on the harbor side of Snapple's distribution plant, it rises
32 feet, and spans 93 feet. The imagery presents a colorful fantasy depicting young
people in various circumstances. All the faces and figures in the mural are in the likeness
of the actual youngsters who worked on the project. The road of fruit represents their
journey through life. The scale is enormous! A tall person could fit into the orange slice
in the middle of the mural!
