Community Art-Making Day!

Join us for a free family-friendly day of public art-making with Juniper Creative Arts and be a part of a new mural that will be going up at the Museum in 2026!

This free drop-in event is open to all ages and artistic abilities, rain or shine! We’ll roll-up our sleeves, reflect on the past, and get hands-on as we contribute to a public art project for the Museum’s new exhibit exploring the American Revolution on Lake Champlain. The final mural will be unveiled with the new exhibit in May 2026.

Juniper Creative Arts is a family collective whose mural initiatives focus on creative placemaking to foster community-building, sense of belonging, and the celebration of African diasporic culture within themes of Afro-Futurism, mythical fantasy, surrealism, and nature. To date, they have created close to 40 community murals located in schools and on public buildings across the state of Vermont.

This event will take place in the center of the Museum campus under the Philadelphia II shed. Chairs and art supplies will be provided. No prior registration required. For any questions or additional information about this event, please reach out to the Director of Visitor Experience & Learning, Katharine Noiva, at katharine@lcmm.org.

Thank you to Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership and the Spark Connecting Community Program of the Vermont Community Foundation for their generous support of this program!
