As Kalamazoo residents and others, like tourists, begin to return to normal life, a little sprucing up is taking place as part of the welcome back. Bell s Eccentric Cafe has a new mural that is on display on its west side wall, and it s one of the biggest in the city.
This mural project began in mid April and was completed in about a month. It s the creation of Dream Scene Placemaking, with artists Anna Lee Roeder and Erik Vasilauskas. This project was originally planned for March 2020, but was postponed with the pandemic.
What s on the mural is what Bell s says it is passionate about: quality ingredients and innovations, and it also has the Brewers Associations’ Independent Seal, which Bell s says can only be used by breweries who fit the trade group’s definition of small, independent craft brewers .
