Due to the potential for rain on Tuesday, Connecticut’s
Old State House is postponing its Community Mural Painting Project to the
following day: Wednesday, June 11. 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 will be the third year Tao LaBossiere
has created a mural on the grounds of the Old State House. An award winning
artist, he has had his artwork displayed in museums and galleries throughout
the city of Hartford. 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.
An additional rain date of Thursday, June 12 has been planned if the rain
continues through Wednesday. 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
