New Mural Goes Up In Bristol

Bristol Borough has a new mural that celebrates the past and the present.

On Tuesday evening, officials from Penn Community Bank and Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar gathered outside the Bristol Borough Parking Lot-side of the bank’s Mill Street-fronting building to celebrate the artwork.

The mural by artist Jean-Marc Dubus, a Langhorne Borough resident who often works in Bristol Borough, features a historic view of the town and modern images of the community.

The large mural that is lighted at night on the bank building is part of Bristol Borough growing public are scene that includes a mural on Old Route 13 and one on Market Street.

“We have long championed the value of public art. We’re thrilled that Penn Community Bank has come forward from the private sector to lead by example by sponsoring this project. We’re confident it will have a ripple effect,” said Bill Pezza of Bristol Borough: Raising the Bar.

Penn Community Bank CEO and President Jeane Vidoni said the Bucks County-based bank was committed to the community and demonstrated that through the artwork.

“We’re proud to truly be a part of the communities we serve and are committed to meeting the financial and civic needs to individuals and families across the region,” she said.

“The goal of the Bristol Borough mural program is to raise awareness and to promote Bristol Borough as a destination to enjoy shopping, dining, the arts, special events, historic preservation, natural resources. We are building on something positive,” said Dubus.
