Wisconsin book printer Worzalla teamed up with CREATE Portage County's Paint the County program and local artist Stephon Kiba Freeman to make a 90-feet-long by 20-feet-high mural on the side of Worzalla's new addition. The mural depicts a young girl standing on a stack of books surrounded by settings from the books she reads, including scenes from space, the ocean depths, tropical islands and more.
Last year, Worzalla completed Phase II of its modernization and expansion, which included an addition of 50,000 square feet to its headquarters in Stevens Point.
"Worzalla is deeply invested in the Portage County and Stevens Point community, so when I learned about the Paint the County program, I knew that our new building expansion would be a great location to be the home of one of these murals," said Worzalla president and CEO Jim Fetherston. "I'm glad we could give Stephon a platform for this talent and support the local arts community all while brightening up our neighborhood. The result is beautiful and highlights the joys of reading."
