January Start Date

At the Town Hall Annex in Bantam

The painting of the mural will be done at the Town Hall Annex, located at 80 Doyle Rd. in Bantam, and will take place during set times a few days a week.

Members of the community will have an opportunity to paint sections of the mural in small groups under the guidance of Danielle.

Anyone who wishes to express interest in being a community painter should email Arts Council Chair Priscilla Jeffrey at lacadmin@litchfieldartscouncil.org.

The mural will feature a central image of a woman making pottery surrounded by references to other defining elements of Litchfield, including agriculture, the cinema and residents in the film business, the town’s bakeries, chefs and food establishments – and the signature Bantam rooster.

Upon completion of the sections, they will be coated to protect the design, assembled, and mounted on the elevator tower by local resident Matt Lauretano of the Lauretano Sign Group.

As a new organization in Litchfield, the Arts Council is proud to sponsor this ambitious public art project. It will be a memorable landmark piece for Litchfield residents and those who visit our town.

In addition to getting involved in a hands-on way, community members are invited to support the mural project with donations in any amount.
