Local News from Marbletown, Rochester, & Rosendale
Local photographer and eco workshop facilitator Star Nigro has developed a traveling, mural project with help from the talented youth of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County's Relatives As Parents Program and the local 4-H Youth Program. The participating artists created the mural concept, and a quote to represent their gift to the community; "No matter our differences, we always have something in common."
"Earthday Everyday" was created using everyday objects and recycled materials. Each artist was given a panel made of recycled pallet wood to decorate in their own style. When placed together, the individual panels create a unified image. "Earthday Everyday" won first place at the Ulster County Fair, along with a ribbon for outstanding exhibit at the New York State Fair in Syracuse.
