FARMER'S MARKET

Look for the WMCG booth at this year's Littleton Farmer's Market! Held every Sunday from June to October near Littleton's foot bridge, the market is a great place to meet and greet, grab some locally grown produce and perhaps get your face painted. Our booth will offer face painting for the wee ones and some quick and fun hands-on arts activities too. Hope to see you there!

Profile High School mural, Bethlehem, NH ANOTHER MURAL COMPLETE

In February of 2008, WMCG painted an official Patriots logo on the new gymnasium wall of Profile High School. Using official Patriots colors, WMCG members completed this 27' x 13' mural in one day, and it is now ready for the planned new addition opening date of March 1, 2008.

MASK-MAKING WORKSHOP FOR KIDS

January 2008 brought the first of many children-focused art workshops with kids' mask-making workshop Mask-Making with Miss Melissa. This four-hour workshop started with a brief demonstration, followed by children and parents creating their very own masks on their faces. Once each personalized mask was dry, the remainder of the workshop was spent creating masterpieces. With the tables of Profile High School's art room loaded with feathers, beads, ribbons, paints and buttons, there was no limit to the creativity! To view more pictures from this workshop, please visit the EVENT PHOTOS page.

THE COLONIAL THEATRE MURAL

Colonial Theatre mural, Bethlehem, NH During the summer of 2007, WMCG partnered with the historic Colonial Theater in Bethlehem, NH to restore the theater's facade to its original splendour... and then some! The members of WMCG painted an Egyptian Revival tromp l'oeil mural around the new marquee with historically-referenced lotus flowers and a winged sun disc .
