Please join us on Thursday, October 10, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. to celebrate the unveiling of the Grant Street Global Voices community mural, painted by Augustina Droze, which reflects the lives of West Side residents. The event will take place at 185 Grant Street (at Auburn Avenue), where the 32-by-80-foot mural is located on the south wall of Lorigo’s Meating Place. A reception will be held at the West Side Bazaar, 25 Grant Street, following speeches recognizing the contributors to this community-wide project.

Young Audiences of Western New York and Buffalo State led over 100 musical, visual, and literary arts workshops at Lafayette High School, International School 45, the Buffalo State Community Academic Center, the WASH Project, and the Niagara Branch Library to create designs that Droze incorporated into the mural. The mural celebrates the diversity and vitality of the neighborhood and businesses of the West Side.
