Community Input Session for New Mural!

Thursday, June 13, 2024

Shea Theater Arts Center

71 Avenue A, Turners Falls

The goal of this community input session is to generate themes for the Shea Theater mural that are relevant to Turners Falls and its residents. These themes will be used by the selected muralist, Darion Fleming, to create draft designs for consideration and approval by the Shea Mural Steering Group.

Rigorous community input is essential to this process. Please join us! All are welcome!
