NEON Squared

throughout the NEON District

The Governor's School for the Arts Students

2018-2023

As a continuation of their artistic bench project, Governor’s School for the Arts students initially painted six sidewalk mural squares in the NEON in 2018. Now an ongoing project, visual art students repaint and add new mural squares on sidewalks annually.

GSA students also refresh the Magazine Lane “carpet” seen behind 801 Granby Street every two years.
