The Project


This past weekend, our town celebrated it's 100th birthday. It was incorporated as a village in 1907 and received town status in 1966.

There were several legacy projects that were undertaken by groups in town and our Art Group decided that we would contribute a collage of paintings by local artists.

The collage was made up of 19 individual 8" x 8" squares which depicted something which the artist felt embodied our town, the area or this momenteous occasion.

Here are the results!
The Squares were painted with acrylic paint and mounted onto a 40" x 48" masonite board which was painted black.
Following are close up photos of the individual squares.
Our town can be proud of the talented artists that contributed to this project.
