Celebrate the first day of viewing for our ASSEMBLY LINE mural with our lead artist, Rashmi, created for and by Cheshire residents & local organizations. Don't forget to use our hashtag in your posts! #myassemblyline
We will have a small-scale collage-making craft; origami flower making; along with fun giveaways from community partners like the New Britain Museum of Art, Cheshire Pollinator Pathway, and the Cheshire Library!
View the completed large-scale mural (32 feet wide!) at the Artcade and connect with the community groups who made this public art project possible. Stay after for a FREE summer concert featuring Moonrise Cartel from 6-8 pm in front of Building 5.
All photos were submitted by participants and the panels were made by our community with leadership from Rashmi Talpade (our wonderful teaching artist).
Over 302 participants helped create this mural and more than 2,145 photographs were submitted!
This project was funded with generous support from the Connecticut Community Foundation and the Ion Bank Foundation. Additional support was provided by Connecticut Office of the Arts.
