Exciting News: Students will kick off mural painting for new Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown!

The new Da Vinci Science Center in downtown Allentown will soon feature a colorful mural thanks to the efforts of a local artist from Bethlehem and 300 students. The project begins Thursday morning and will cover a 120-foot long wall at the new Science Center. Local artist Carla Majczan, along with students from Lehigh Valley Children’s Centers, worked together to create, design, and paint the mural.

Carla Majczan, a Bethlehem Area School District art teacher, was chosen to lead the project. She developed lesson plans for art and science that inspired students to create art and designs based on those plans. After sorting through boxes of student artwork and ideas, Carla finalized the mural design based on the children’s drawings.

The students will begin painting the mural at the Judith Chase Early Learning Center gym on Chew Street. The finished mural will be installed at the new Da Vinci Science Center in late May or early June. The Science Center is set to open on May 22nd, showcasing the colorful and imaginative artwork created by local students under the guidance of Carla Majczan.
