Six aspiring young artists, ages 11-14, are putting the finishing touches this week on a mural in Seattle's Central Area that they are painting with local artist Derek Wu.

The mural at 20th Avenue South and South Jackson Street is being done as part of a two-week Youth Art Works project at the Pratt Fine Arts Center.

The mural is intended to beautify the exterior of Pratt's "Orange Building" and provide neighborhood teens with a chance to grow as artists.

A public dedication celebrating the project will be held at 6 p.m. Friday.
