11. Bandon Water Treatment Plant
Where art, wildlife, and community come together.
This 530 foot mural was originally painted by Jack Champayne in the 90's. In 2009, artist Vicki Affatati began fundraising and generating interest in the restoration. Her project, "Bringing Jack Back", was multifacted- including working with Bandon High School students to experience civic involvement in a variety of areas from fundraising, engagement with town leaders, art classes and art shows and ending with a team of 7 student artists who worked along side Affatati during the summer of 2010 to restore all areas of the mural. Look closely and you'll find thirty-eight local birds, a sea captain, the Bandon Lighthouse, seals and grey whales woven into one unforgettable mural. The giant whales and seals were restored again by Chance Barnes in the summer of 2023.
