West Hartford Schools Seek Mural Site

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The local school system has major plans for a mural in town that it hopes will raise awareness and honor the town's deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

But it just needs a place to paint it.

That's where the community comes in, as West Hartford Public Schools Deaf Services is seeking nominations for places where it can install a mural.

"We're planning a vibrant mural that celebrates our deaf and hard-of-hearing community and are looking for the perfect building to bring this vision to life," wrote the town.

"Do you know a building that could serve as the canvas for this inspiring public art project?"

Property owners and community members are invited to suggest potential locations.

The ideal spot would be a three-to-four-story building with a solid, windowless wall, ideally located where it’s prominently seen from the street.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for property owners to turn one wall of their building into a stunning artwork that will inspire all who see it," wrote the town.
