THE ESSENTIALS REPORT |
Art can add value or enhance any space along with preserving history. However, when it accounts to funding art projects, even the school art teachers must request more funding. Thanks to the Spruce Up Grant, it afforded nonprofit organization Nosreme the opportunity to expand its goals an outreach effort by infusing art and farming this time around. The artist mural voting took place at the City of Refugee and hosted by Greater Baybrook Alliance on Monday evening. Nosreme nurtures connections by supporting the culture-builders of society: chefs and artist. This is such an amazing collaboration and architect Ariana Parrish knows how to create community-building social experiences. A 40 ft. shipping container that once served as a storage unit located in Farring Baybrook Park managed by Black Butterfly Teaching Farm will undergo a makeover with mural design provided by outstanding artist Kennedy Ringgold. "I'm surprised a little bit," Kennedy said of being the winner to enhance the community space. This was a great opportunity for the community to learn the inspiration behind the artist creative works. Like most projects, there are a few phases that must be implemented for the next steps. But securing a winner was the priority and goal for the initial rollout phase. "I am imaging walking my dog and draws more attention and I would look," expressed Mrs. Michelle when observing Kenndy's artistic work.
