challenge, support and reinforcement of the creative process of members of the New Eden Collaborative. In the summer of 2008, GAL began working on a 9′ x 60′ mural on “Visions of a Sustainable Future” based on input from New Eden Collaborative members. GAL artists frequently work on the mural during the Friday distribution hours of the Greater Newburyport CSA ( Community Supported Agriculture) to create an opportunity for dialogue on our challenges, solutions, and hopes for a sustainable future.
GAL is pleased to introduce our 2009 summer intern from Montserrat College of Art, Cathy Stevens. An illustration major, who wanted to learn about collaborative/ activist art, she will be dedicating a large part of her internship to working on the mural and other Green Artists League projects at the New Eden Collaborative.
the Green Artists League is beginning the design of the second phase of the mural that will focus on a sustainable Newburyport cityscape. GAL encourages “co-creation of the mural” and is soliciting your dreams and your hopes for a sustainable future. Please submit your vision for our sustainable future via comments to this post. These suggestions will be incorporated into the design of the mural.
