Greenwich Townscape: Celebrating America 250


Greenwich Townscape: Celebrating America 250

A Collaborative Photo Mural

Thank you to everyone who took part in creating a giant photo collage celebrating the history and character of Greenwich! Guided by artist Rashmi Talpade, participants used submitted photo prints to create a unique townscape collage inspired by the architecture and spirit of Greenwich. Collage sessions took place throughout the Spring at locations around town.

THE SEVEN FINISHED MURALS ARE TEMPORARILY ON DISPLAY BY THE FIRST FLOOR ENTRANCE AT GREENWICH LIBRARY, PRIOR TO THEIR PERMANENT INSTALLATION.

Greenwich Townscape Mural Debut

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Greenwich Library on July 9 for the inaugural presentation of the completed Greenwich Townscape murals, followed by a wonderful Peterson Unplugged concert featuring On the Trail Bluegrass! It was a memorable evening celebrating art, music, and community. We were delighted to share the unveiling of these remarkable murals and enjoy an outstanding bluegrass performance with so many friends and neighbors. Stay tuned for photos from the event!
