Another project of the #UnexpectedCanvas movement will be created live during Friday’s block party at 516 Broad Street. The wall and sidewalk mural will be a tribute to the Monarch butterfly by artist collective, Sister Cat Studios. Artists include Claremont House owner, Holly McHaggee, and her sisters Sally Hagge-Bailey and Katherine Jenkins, both area art teachers. Kids of all ages will be able to participate in the creation of the project with paint and sidewalk chalk that will be provided.
“Monarchs are increasingly endangered,” said McHaggee, “we would love to help raise awareness of the flowers these important pollinators need to grow and thrive.”
This is the third temporary art installation led by Makervillage co-founder, Tricia Steele.
“This exhibit will be extremely short-lived,” said Steele, “but we believe it can inspire others towards creative pursuits of their own, much like the butterfly effect in physics where tiny changes create great impact.”
The installation idea came up just this week and was met with extremely responsive and enthusiastic support of the Downtown Development Authority, including a project grant to provide supplies.
“This kind of impromptu creativity is what we want to encourage and celebrate in our downtown community,” said Director Ann Arnold, “we are appreciative to Mark Wall and to our planning department for being willing to support these community experiences.”
