The Brunswick Mural Project
– Why Art? Why Murals?

The arts sub-committee created murals in downtown Brunswick to help heal and build community. Something powerful happens when public art enters a community. When artists and the community come together to create art that reflects a community’s history, aspirations, dreams, and local culture, the community responds with recognition and pride. It is a beautiful thing.

Art ignites change that can uplift all people, and Brunswick is ripe for this type of change and community building. Simply put, art is good for our community.

“While the end products — the works of public art — are always beautiful, their deeper value lies in the conversations we create, the connections we build, and the legacy of relationships we foster along the way, often with transformative results…”
“The experience of art moves us from the everyday into the realm of possibility…” -- Arlene Goldbard, Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
