View as PDF
Due to the potential for rain throughout the rest of the
week, Connecticut’s Old State House is postponing its Community Mural Painting
Project again to Monday, June 16. Hartford artists Tao and Amy LaBossiere will lead
the project, which will be taking place outside the building in the Old State
House’s Main Street courtyard.
Join Tao and Amy as they invite professionals,
artists, children and whoever else walks by to turn the Old State House
courtyard, where George Washington once stood, into a masterpiece shared by the
entire city. Weather permitting; the LaBossieres will begin the mural at
roughly 11 a.m. and they will wrap up around 1 p.m. The Old State House
encourages anyone in buildings surrounding the property to take pictures of the
mural down below and share them on the Old State House’s Facebook page.
This
community mural painting project is supported in part by the Greater Hartford Arts Council's United
Arts Campaign, which has also supplied funding for future Old
State House Farmers Market concerts this summer. Visit the Old State House
Facebook page for the latest updates on upcoming events, postponements and
other news.
Located in downtown Hartford just a short walk
from the Connecticut Science Center, Wadsworth Atheneum and the riverfront,
Connecticut’s Old State House invites visitors of all ages to discover that
their voices matter, and that words, ideas, persuasion and debate really can
change minds – and, quite possibly, the world. The building served as the
Constitution State’s original seat of government from 1796 to 1878. For
