@sarajcarr @NEHgov Congrats Sara!!

“I wanted to make it look like water levels were rising with the waves and the binoculars, but there’s still a whole lot of good to go around, a whole lot of optimism." -Ethan Moyer, @UMassD senior (with his family) whose original design was turned into a mural Great work! 👏

Thank you to all of our community partners who came out to celebrate the Envision Resilience Mural Project on Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford!

“Portland is a really interesting example because it’s actually a fairly small city but it has all of the pressures and problems that big cities face… you can get very quickly into the issues of sustainability and resilience." -Prof Richard Sommer, @UofT

Join us on TUESDAY AUGUST 20 @ 2:30 pm at the North End Stereo Building (1200 Acushnet Ave, New Bedford, MA, 02746) for the Envision Resilience Mural Community Celebration!
