Invitation to help with mural project
By the MuralFest team
Over the years, the town of Putnam has become a community canvas for artistic expression...boasting eye-catching murals, enchanting fairy doors, painted electrical boxes and refuse containers, decorated bicycles, street art and staircases, fiery ice carvings, painted cow parades, performing arts, gardens, glowing River Fires, and dozens of other projects large and small. Thanks in large part to the talented contributions of so many of you, from painters and performers to planners and promoters, Putnam is enjoying a renaissance - a flourishing of arts and culture that continues to make our quaint town a favored destination by residents, neighbors, and visitors alike.
The project is called MuralFest Putnam, a public art collaboration that welcomes sign painters and muralists from around the country and across the world, and engages local artists, supporters, businesses, municipal, for-profit, and non-profit organizations, donors, and the community-at-large. Plans call for Putnam’s rich history to be captured in a series of privately funded, storytelling murals. The project is massive and is expected to take three to five years to bring to fruition.
We welcome you to join us at 6 p.m. May 29 in Room 109 of the Putnam Municipal Complex, 200 School Street, for a kick-off reception. We will all undoubtedly have more questions than answers right now, but that is the intent...to engage the will of our community to imagine the possibilities, create the vision, and take the collective steps to move this project forward.
There will be many opportunities to add your time, talent, and meaningful contributions to the project, so please join us for MuralFest Putnam...where history repaints itself! Please contact Elaine Turner at
Early conversations and initial research about the project led Putnam to apply for and be accepted as a MuralFest community by The Walldog Public Art Movement. A “walldog” is a historical term for a professional outdoor muralist or sign painter who often worked on tall buildings.
