Downtown Farmington is about to get a bit more artsy this fall.

A mural is planned to go up on the west elevation of the Farmington Civic Theater, 33332 Grand River, in a few weeks to celebrate the theater's 80th anniversary next year.

The mural, which will feature actors such as Jimmy Stewart, James Dean and Veronica Lake, is expected to get painted as early as the last week of September. It will be visible from the parking lot on the north end of downtown.

"We're excited about that," said Kate Knight, executive director of Farmington Downtown Development Authority. "We're really optimistic we'll be able to install it this year."
