American Harvest Specialty Foods,
Arthur St. & South bound lane of Route 18, is adding another palate tantalizing fruit to the exterior of
American Harvest. The latest edition being added and embellished this week is a giant Cantaloupe and two Bing
Cherries. Ryan Rivetto, a young artist from Sayreville re-worked the cherries on the front of the building and Mark
Nerys, a 15 year old Franklin High School Student from Somerset has been on ladders all week, blending colors and
painting a melon big enough to squash him if it rolls off the wall. Mark has been recognized from his
school district for art achievement winning Outstanding Student in Visual Arts in 2001.
VAL (Visual Arts League) brought Ryan and Mark into the project (which has been going on several years now.) The original painters of some of the large portions of the mural have moved on, their work to be taken over and further embellished and reconstituted by artists of all ages brought there by VAL. VAL is creating jobs and opportunities for artists of all ages and building bridges between artists and the community, linking with businesses whenever possible.
