WATERVILLE — In recognition of Earth Day 2024, community members of all ages can create a mural that illustrates the story of “How Humanity Managed To Save the Planet.”
This event, co-sponsored by the Mid-Maine Chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby and arts collaborative Waterville Creates, is set for noon-3 p.m. Sunday, April 21, in the lobby of the Paul J. Schupf Art Center at 93 Main St., a day before Earth Day.
Artist Lucky Platt of Burnham will help artists invited to pitch in with various art and craft materials that will be provided. A unique, hand-cranked device enables the story to unfold, according to a news release from Cynthia Stancioff, Mid-Maine CCL co-chair.
“This community art build project illustrates how humanity ends up saving the Earth through a combination of determination, cooperation, love, science, ingenuity, and sane policy,” said Stancioff.
A simultaneous activity, planting flower and vegetable seeds in small containers, will take place.
This event is free. To explore CCL, visit citizensclimatelobbymaine.weebly.com. To learn about Lucky, see All the Better to Hear You With – Maine Home + Design; at mainehomedesign.com.
