The Ernest Maier cinder block company has been a fixture in the community for more than 80 years and wanted to create a mural that celebrates the company’s shared history with the Town of Bladensburg. “I want to thank the Hyattsville CDC and Cindy Holden for helping us fulfill our vision of creating this beautiful and multicolor mural that celebrates the history of the Town of Bladensburg. Ernest Maier has been proud to call Bladensburg home for nearly 100 of those years. We welcome the community to come take a selfie with the mural because it’s truly magnificent,” Brendan Quinn, President and CEO of Ernest Maier.
The mural title will be unveiled at the ribbon-cut ceremony on November 15, 2021, at 2 pm. The Ernest Maier Bladensburg mural is located at 4602 Annapolis Road Bladensburg, Maryland 20710. The artist, Cindy Fletcher Holden, is an experienced muralist with family ties to the neighborhood. “It was an honor to do this mural for Ernest Maier, and I hope to be part of future mural projects in the Town of Bladensburg,” Said Cindy. “I am proud of the work I have created for Ernest Maier and the Town of Bladensburg. I think the residents of this town will be able to see the history, community, and celebration of diversity in this spirited municipality.”
