Artsquad Inspiration Spreads!
Lisa Ronalter, a carousel horse painter at The New England Carousel Museum, joined the Artsquad for The All Heart to Fight Blight Day last month. She and her son, Brent, painted a beautiful 8x8 mural with us in the west end. Ronalter, a Plymouth resident, was so inspired by the All Heart movement of storefront art and murals in Bristol, that she hoped to spread the beauty of storefront art to her own town!
She was introduced to Bristol's David Haberfeld, who had just recently purchased 211 Main Street. He was more than happy to have artwork be displayed in the vacant windows in hopes to attract business. Within just days of meeting, Ronalter had talked with local art teachers in the schools and had artwork from kids of all ages to display in the windows! And within just two weeks of having the artwork displayed, the once vacant building now has a new business to move in! Go Lisa!
"Plymouth Rocks Downtown with Art!"
