Check Out This Mural, Before Sandy Gets It
The mural above, executed by Norfolk artist Sam Welty, appeared Wednesday on the Free Speech Wall on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall to promote a Virginia Film Festival screening of “A Journey to Darfur,” a documentary about Nick and George Clooney’s travels to the troubled region of Africa.
The screening, supported by the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression (founded by former U.Va. President Robert M. O’Neill), will be held Nov. 3 at 4 p.m. at U.Va.’s Nau Auditorium, and will feature a discussion with Nick Clooney.
(More about the movie on Amazon.)
Here’s an interview the Clooneys did shortly after the film came out:

Awesome. George Clooney is instantly recognizable. Was the mural done in chalk?
