The Arts Page | Segment | Paint on Port - Port Washington's Mural Program

The role of art in a community is often overlooked but it can serve a powerful purpose. In Port Washington they are using murals as a way to beautify their city and increase community pride. Paint on Port is Port Washington's mural program. It started in 2021 with a goal of creating 12 murals around the area. They are in the final year of the program and stand at 9 murals.
It's a balancing act for the Paint on Port. organizers. Combining modern art with historic charm can be tricky. It takes a lot of nuance, finesse and subtlety. But when it's done right everyone benefits. It's accessible by anyone whether you are just visiting or have lived there your entire life. Public art is for everyone and Paint on Port hope their murals make you feel welcome in their beautiful town.
