Event Type: Art Exhibition Date: 10/26/2009 - 12/16/2009 Description: The American Mural Project (AMP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation of the largest indoor collaborative artwork in the world – a mural 120 feet long, 5 stories high, and up to 10 feet deep. Over 10,000 people have worked on it since artist Ellen Griesedieck conceived of it ten years ago. This exhibition at Hartford Public Library will feature some of the finished pieces of the mural, as well as a scale model and plans for elements in progress. Visitors will also have the chance to work on an eight-foot paper-pulp sculpture, one of many AMP is now sending across the country to be painted before their eventual installation in the mural. Throughout the month of the exhibit, AMP will also be coordinating projects with kids from local schools, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Hartford Stage, and other arts organizations around the city. Hartford Public Library Monday - Thursday 10am - 5pm Friday and Saturday 1pm - 5pm Sunday 1pm - 5pm www.hplct.org Please join us for an artist's reception Friday November 13, 5:30 - 7pm
