Dream Murals: Public Art with Hartford Art School Alumni - Artist Panel

Friday, April 4 | 4–6 p.m. | Silpe Gallery, UHart Campus

In this community-focused exhibition, we give over the gallery walls to six alumni of the Hartford Art School to paint their dream murals. Working in public art, muralists often bend to the wishes and desires of their clients. At the same time, murals can be collaborative projects in the best of ways—an opportunity to tap into a community and give it visual expression on a large scale. This exhibition creates an opportunity for alumni to take what they have learned from these experiences and to share lessons about the transformative power of public art with the next generation of artists at the Hartford Art School.

Alumni artist panel includes Peter Albano '09, Lindaluz Carrillo '16, Vaughn Feder '05, Sophie Groenstein '22, Chris Piasick '05, M'19, and Sophy Tuttle M'19.
