BARRE – Stacey Kirby Steward is working on a mural celebrating the Barre community. The 4-by-8-foot painting will be unveiled at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19 at the Barre Town Hall.
The mural includes Barre landmarks and highlights an agricultural theme. Steward is working on the final touches, and she tried to show different parts of Barre, including Route 98, West Barre, East Barre, Pine Hill and some of the crops on the muck.
The Barre Betterment Committee spearheaded the project and received a grant through the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council.
Steward did two community painting sessions in September with the Barre community as part of the project.
The public is welcome to the unveiling next Wednesday.
