The Katonah Museum of Art announced a site-specific mural installation in the museum’s atrium as part of its 40th anniversary celebration. Renowned artist and muralist, Tom Christopher, known for his expressionist take on urban life, collaborated with a selection of students representing nearby schools to produce a visual compilation of creativity and ideas.
Artist Tom Christopher summed it up this way: “This project was to create a mural expressing the dreams of 13 artists at age 40. Where do they see themselves at that age? Distill this thought to a single object that would express the thought or something they might carry with them into the future. We will paint that image over an expressionistic background in the lobby of the museum.”
Members of the general public are invited to view the exhibition Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023
