The spare change meters are with the artists now and they
are in the process of painting them. Alderman Pat Long and artist Anthony
Williams bought the paint. They were
both interviewed by Charlie Sherman, Executive Director of New Horizons, on his
local cable TV show. He will be getting
us lots of publicity! On Tuesday or
Wednesday of this week the city will be mounting the posts for the meters and
they will take about one week to cure.
Then the artists can finish their designs. No photos yet, but maybe next week we’ll have
some photos of the work in progress. The
scheduled date for meeting at New Horizons is July 15th.
Eagle Eyes Community Organization has been working with Dave Huet in Bedford. He
has donated paint and panels to be mounted on his fence. Some of our artists
are involved with painting the panels.
Anthony Williams also met with another group that works with handicapped
children, many who love art. They may do
some of the panels too. Friends of Art
Manchester has a good relationship with other groups and enjoys working with
them. We are hoping that this can be an
annual project and we will get involved with it then.
Thank you to Anthony for the update.
