We have an aggressive timeline and are working diligently to secure financial commitments to support this program with the first phase murals to be completed in late Summer 2023. To supplement seed money provided by the City of Port, we are fundraising to support additional costs for the program and the artists.
These funding needs include:
Volunteers will also be needed during our summer paint week(s) when the artists will be painting the murals.
Some volunteer opportunities include:
Port Washington Main Street, in collaboration with the City of Port Washington, is launching a three-year mural program to bring 10+ murals to our city over the next three years. Port Washington has a rich art history, and we are excited to use public art to add vibrancy to our downtown and our city while paying homage to its history and character.
Port Washington has been chosen as the location for the Mural Mosaic Global Roots Project America Connects Midwest Regional Mural! Port Washington will represent the 11 states comprising the Midwest region in this global art project, whose aim is to re-connect people throughout art across the globe. Port Washington Main Street, as a non-profit organization working in economic development for the historic downtown, will receive the mural as a donation, and it will be installed on the north wall of Twisted Willow Restaurant (308 N Franklin St) in April.
