A public facing mural will soon adorn the exterior facade of Village Center Apartments in the heart of downtown Morrisville, spearheaded by nonprofit collaborators River Arts and Lamoille Housing Partnership.
“With each of our affordable housing developments, we strive to contribute vital housing resources as well as vibrant spaces to our communities. Along with Village Center Apartments’ steel dragon sculpture, this mural is another example of that practice in action,” Kerrie Lohr, the partnership’s advancement and communications director, said.
Marsan’s proposal was a standout to the committee as much for its colorful, vibrant depiction of flora and fauna native to Morrisville, as well as an understanding of and connection to values shared between Lamoille Housing Partnership and River Arts.
“I hope the mural design itself, in addition to community members’ participation in its creation, will contribute to residents feeling at home while connected to the larger community and natural surroundings Vermont and Lamoille County are known for,” Marsan said.
The mural will be Marsan’s first publicly displayed work in Lamoille County.
A community dedication and unveiling will take place at Village Center Apartments on Hutchins Street on Friday, Oct. 6, at 3:30 p.m. Attendees can expect speakers’ remarks, unveiling of the mural and an apple cider toast.
