Insights on the forthcoming Train station mural

via https://www.instagram.com/kaylajeannisbet/

"Normally I share a project with you after it’s done and wrapped with a bow but since the exciting word is out thanks to the @franklinmatters.ma podcast, this time, I’m sharing backwards. Or rather starting from the beginning. In 1778 to be exact!

I’m honored to have been asked to design a mural for the Dean College/Franklin T station. The mural will celebrate the historical charm and history of our town. I promise to put my fun + simple spin on it, and always with a touch of whimsy! On this journey with me are members from the @franklin_art_association, @franklinculturalcouncil02038, Franklin Cultural District, and Franklin High School. Here are some sneak peeks as we begin the long process of applying to the MBTA for mural permissions. 

A huge thank you to @beccarausch4ma for awarding Franklin an extremely generous grant for Public Art and for Cory Shea @franklinculture for asking me to lead this project. This project wouldn’t be possible without both of these amazing ladies, or without the help of Dr. Robert Lawson, Dean College History Professor and our town Archivist, Rowan Lowell who have helped me extensively research Franklin’s rich history. 

So proud of what has been accomplished already and I can’t wait to paint this with the team in the Spring. Listen to the Franklin Matters podcast on the link in bio for more info!"
