I wanted to share an exciting community engagement opportunity we are exploring as part of Forsyth Fest - the installation of a community-created mural through the Mural Mosaic America 250th program.
This is a little different than a traditional mural. Instead of one artist painting a wall, this project is created by our residents themselves.
How the Mural Mosaic Process Works:
• A large mural image is selected.
• That image is broken into hundreds of small individual panels (tiles).
• Community members sign up to participate and are each given a tile to paint.
• Each participant paints their tile following simple color-by-number style instructions provided by the program. No artistic experience is needed.
• Once all tiles are completed, they are collected and assembled into the full mural image.
• The finished mural is installed as a permanent public art piece in the Village.
What makes this especially meaningful is that the mural is not just something the community looks at — it is something the community creates together.
Our next step is determining which mural design best fits our community - and we need your help! Please visit the link below to vote for the image that you believe best fits Forsyth.
