Juneau artist Arnie Weimer stands aboard his scaffolding at 2nd St & Gold<\/p><\/div>\n

What kind of normal people would work in Juneau weather?\u00a0 Laborers, gardeners, construction crew, long shoremen, city maintenance folks,…and, and…artists?\u00a0 I can’t say I know very many Juneau artists who are willing to design and paint an art installation entirely outdoors.\u00a0 I’m sorry folks, but Juneau’s weather gets to me; unless of course, I am working in the weather, then for whatever the psychological\/emotional reasons, I can stand the constant rain.<\/p>\n

Hey, what is this photo essay about?\u00a0 Juneau’s weather or Arnie Weimer’s latest endeavor!?\u00a0 Gadzooks, get on with it!<\/p>\n

What’s Arnie doing this mural for?\u00a0 What’s the name of it?\u00a0 Why is he doing it?\u00a0 Who commissioned him?\u00a0 Or is this mural a donation to the city because the big wall needed some action?\u00a0 What’s the story on this mural?\u00a0 Who is Arnie, anyway?<\/p>\n

A few dabs of paint while he poses for this photo<\/p><\/div>\n

Obviously, the mural portrays aspects of Juneau’s diverse cultural history (i.e. miners, totem poles, fishing vessels and “no parking” signs.\u00a0 I think I’ll give Arnie a call and get some info, eh?\u00a0 Or would you like to respond with answers?<\/p>\n
