EVENTS FOR LIFE & THE TOWN OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS COMMUNITY MURAL PROJECT

Residents are Invited to Participate in Community Mural Project

In partnership with Events for Life (EFL), the Town of The Blue Mountains would like to invite all residents and community members to participate in the Community Mural project. Through collaboration with the Mural Mosaic group, the Community Mural project aims to bring the community together and celebrate the resiliency of The Blue Mountains through challenging times.
Once your participation is confirmed, you can select either a blue or green tile to paint. On any small square canvass, cardstock or paper, create your own unique design using blue or green paint. Once your artwork is complete, you will be asked to submit a photo of your creation digitally, with your final artistic design being combined by the Mural Mosaic group to create the final mural.

“Events for Life is so grateful to be partnering with the Town of The Blue Mountains on this exciting collaborative community project,” says Barb Weeden, Executive Director of Events for Life. “The Mural will represent the courage, strength, and resilience the Events for Life participants had to weather the pandemic. Our roots are planted in this community, and together we will stand strong.”

The finished mural will be 8 feet wide by 8 feet tall and will feature the artwork of approximately 400 members of the community. Tiles will be available through the website until the submission deadline of Friday August 6, 2021.

The final Community Mural will be revealed in mid-August and will be displayed in a Town facility.

We are looking for adults in the community who have the time and positive energy to spend time helping our participants and help them engage in their activities. Typically, volunteers spend a half day, either morning or afternoon once a week depending on your availability.
