Murals in Groton
over 2 years agoThe Beautification is planning to partner with a local artist to place a mural in town. There are several potential locations.
What type of mural should we paint? Leave your idea here.
All ideas will be considered, the Beautification Committee will meet and decide on a theme in Fall/Winter 2021.

unless done in more durable materials than paint, murals require frequent attention, and in their commonly degraded state, are more commonly found in efforts to beautify slums, which is not what we're looking for. Flowers are great when there isn't much room, but also mass landscape planting (larger groupings of shrubs and ground covers) gives a lot of bang for the buck, and a great impression.

I'm not sure if my previous submission went through but i suggested to have a mural painted on one of or both sides of the walls underneath the train bridge located close to the corner of Fairview Ave and Bridge St. This particular street is often traveled by Eb workers, and also it leads to Military Highway. So i believe this location is perfect. I do realize it's a bigger project but i think in the long run it will be worth it!
