“The Borough is delighted to collaborate with residents and local artists on this outdoor mural project,” said Councilman Andrew Halter. “In addition to creating a beautiful work of art for visitors to our downtown, it celebrates the history and diversity of Glassboro with the local community through art.”

The mural will be located on the north-facing wall of the Town Square restroom pavilion located at 1 West High Street, Glassboro, NJ. Public programming is being planned and will include community feedback sessions and community paint days.

“This event continually brings residents together for a free day of entertainment and education, building on the sense of collaboration and friendship that makes Glassboro such a great community,” said Council President George Cossabone. “I’d like to offer a very special Thank You to our local businesses and organizations whom continue to support unity in Glassboro and encourage people to get involved.”

GLASSBORO REQUESTS EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FROM NATIONAL ARTISTS.

To commemorate this history, the Borough has issued a Request for Expression of Interest for artists to apply. Specifications and application process are available at glassboro.org/bidsrfprfq until June 6, 2019.

The mural site will be on the exterior wall of a restroom pavilion on the South side area of the Glassboro Town Square visible from High Street.

“It's impossible to overstate the importance of dedicating space for the arts and entertainment district to thrive,” said Glassboro Councilwoman Daniele Spence. “We are committing space, resources, funding and ongoing efforts to meet the unique needs of artists from the area. We need to allow their creativity to inspire us in our development of our downtown’s image.”
