See the new “Postcard Mural” at the Newport Community Block Party
July 21, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Library Arts Center and the Newport Public Art Collaborative-a newly-formed partnership with the Newport Area Chamber of Commerce-has worked to create a new vintage postcard-style mural that was installed in downtown Newport this week. This large-scale public art piece, created in the same style as the popular “Greetings from” postcards, depicts the Corbin Covered Bridge in the fall, as well as popular scenes from around town (skating on the Common, the Opera House, the Library and more). The mural was painted by artist Heidi Lorenz-the lead artist of the Newport Community Heritage Mural Reproduction in 2022.
The mural was installed just in time for the Newport Community Block Party this Friday, July 21st! We look forward to this vibrant art piece welcoming residents and visitors to the Newport Downtown Historic District when entering downtown from Sunapee Street, in the heart of the Sugar River Region.
