NORWICH – The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) is excited to be co-hosting “Community Art with Airigami” throughout both days of this year’s Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival.
Everyone is invited to help create a collaborative mural depicting "The Lillie," one of two canal packet boats which carried passengers along the Chenango Canal during its four decades in operation (1837-1878). This large-scale art installation will be created entirely out of balloons!
“We are absolutely thrilled to be sharing the story of the Chenango Canal during Colorscape through this dynamic community art installation in partnership with Airigami,” said Jessica Moquin, CCHS executive director. “The tremendous generosity of the Herbert H. & Mariea L. Brown Charitable Trust has made this creative and imaginative local history experience possible, and we are supremely grateful!”
