Anthony Williams has been an artist in New Hampshire
for many years, and has painted murals all over Manchester and one in Nashua at
the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter. In Manchester, he's worked with inner city
youth through a program called Eagle Eyes, graffiti artists
painting negative graffiti to change their mindset and do some murals together
in approved spaces to show that they can do work for positive reasons. The hope
is to curtail vandalism while giving young people a constructive way to express
themselves.
He has placed
20+ 'movable' murals in public areas in the city. He painted and oversaw the
development of several murals covering the walls in an area of town referred to
as Cat Alley among many other projects.
He recently finished the
Mural on the Homestead Restaurant's Silo in Merrimack.
Anthony is both a commercial
painter and also a fine artist working in both watercolors and acrylics. He is
the inspiration for bringing together artists and those interested in art to
form “Friends of Art Manchester”. We
hope to have more art downtown and involve more children with art.
Friends of Art is currently partnering with LibertyHarbor Academy and Anthony for a fall project (possibly two).
Anthony will be working with the students on creating a mural for their
cafeteria space.
