stayed with The Stone House Studio for about ten days. We are still finishing construction in the house but the artist residency spaces were able to host these talented muralists. In addition, our local artist Rachel Klein joined us for meals and activities at the Stone House Studio.

We also hosted part of the Street Art Day including a Wild Rides: Graffiti your Ride program for kids. We had a great time while the kids spray painted, used stencils, and stickers to make their skateboards, scooters and bikes reflect their creative choices.

The mural artists could walk right next door to the Westminster Park to watch Carrie Caruso perform a candlelight concert for Murals on Main.
