Artistic representation for Face Time : Lewiston Deanna Ehrhardt on how art benefits the community

She has been involved in the public arts committee for over 10 years, and has been instrumental in organizing several successful events and exhibitions.

The Origins of the Public Arts Committee

The Public Arts Committee was established in 2007, with the goal of promoting and supporting public art in the community. The committee is comprised of local artists, art educators, and community members who share a passion for art and a desire to make a positive impact on the community.

They become invested in the process and take pride in their work. This ownership is not limited to the students; the community also benefits from the art.

Mural work brings people together and fosters creativity and self-expression.

It can also be a way to tell a story, convey emotions, and create a sense of belonging. Art can also be a way to express the community’s history and culture.

The Benefits of Mural Work in Schools

Mural work can have a significant impact on a school community. Here are some benefits of mural work in schools:

Boosts morale and engagement: Mural work can bring students, teachers, and staff together, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose.

We are also seeing a resurgence of interest in local art and culture, with many people seeking out unique and authentic experiences.

The Resurgence of Local Art and Culture

The pandemic has had a profound impact on the local art scene, but it seems that we are now experiencing a resurgence of interest in local art and culture. This renewed enthusiasm is evident in the growing popularity of Art Walks, which have become a staple of our community’s cultural calendar.

What’s Driving the Resurgence? Several factors are contributing to this resurgence, including:

Increased accessibility: With the pandemic, many people have had to reevaluate their priorities and seek out new ways to engage with their community. This has led to a renewed interest in local art and culture, as people seek out unique and authentic experiences.

I envision a vibrant, thriving arts scene that brings people together and fosters a sense of community.

The Power of Public Arts (Committee)

The Public Arts (Committee) plays a vital role in promoting and supporting the arts in Lewiston. This committee is responsible for pushing new installations and events into the community, helping to create a more vibrant and engaging cultural landscape.
