NEW BERN, N.C. (WNCT) — The “New Bern Strong” mural has been painted over for the production of a new mural by the building’s new owner, The Craven Arts Council and Gallery said in a statement.
The mural, which was completed in 2024, was created in memoriam to the effects of Hurricane Florence and to remark on their resilience and strength, the Arts Council said.
It was located on the property of 328 South Front Street and relied on over 300 volunteers and local sponsors.
The building was sold in 2025 to King & Lasso.
