Community Art Project a Success!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the creation of our new glass and mosaic mural. Not only does it beautify the library building, but it also hangs as a lasting reminder of a collective effort to create a meaningful piece of art. The project was in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and was designed to be a small expression of the values and beliefs of the people of this community.

Over 100 community members attended our workshops and created the individual tiles, which were then assembled by artist Terry Zigmund. A local volunteer framed the mural and hung it in place.

Who We Are was made possible by a grant the library was awarded through Vermont Humanities’ Project Grants process.  This grant is administered by the Vermont Arts Council using funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission to commemorate our nation’s 250th anniversary.  For more information on the grant, please visit the Vermont Humanities website.
