Life in a Tapestry
Unveiling the 2021 Alley Art Project Design + Student Exhibition
The Rockwell Museum is thrilled to unveil the 2021 Alley Art Project design of a new mural coming to Corning’s North Side! The project has been approved for funding by the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as continued regional support from The Triangle Fund.
In collaboration with the High School Learning Center (HSLC) of the Corning-Painted Post Area School District, students worked with Teaching Mural Artist Betsy Casañas, HSLC Coordinator Dave Quackenbush, and Rockwell Educator Amy Ruza to design the latest Alley Art Project mural inspired by artwork in the Museum’s collection.
Life in a Tapestry will be painted in downtown Corning in August 2021. This virtual exhibition celebrates the 13th Alley Art Project featuring students’ individual mandala paintings that are woven into the design. The original student artwork is on view in The Rockwell’s Student Gallery through September 6, 2021. Learn more >>
