Project Updates

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.
