Murals in Wells
When: Founded by Caroline Anders in 2008, when she was an employee for IMA.
Where: Throughout Wells on Businesses and Residential buildings
Artists: Various
“The Mini Mural Project was created with one objective in mind, which was to bring a visual arts aspect to an already musically rich festival. I thought people wanted to watch other people paint, because I sure did… Mini Mural Artists are provided with all the supplies and invited to the (ArtsWells) festival to paint throughout the weekend. Once they were done, Island Mountain Arts Exhibits them in the Gallery, & then Auctions them as a fundraiser. Winning bidders then install their mural in the community, beautifying the town.
Over the years the support from businesses & the community for this project has been inspiring, and it’s lovely seeing the murals hung around town. Watching Artists create their works has been very inspiring, and has created many wonderful relationships amongst artists participating in ArtsWells. Having a Mural Project has… allowed Visual Arts to have a place in our Festival of All Things Art.”
