On April 29th, Grangers and friends celebrated the unveiling of our vibrant new exterior murals and the student artists who created them with a festive reception.
After hors d’oeuvres and drinks, we were treated to a lively performance by the Apple Tree Morris dancers. The mural artists shared with us their experiences of the creation of the murals.
The art was created by Artstart Sonoma County youth and Analy High School, with guidance from Art Instructor Asherah Weiss. They display the creativity and skill of our local young artists. The art brings new life to the historic Grange Hall. This project reimagines the classic symbolism of the Grange’s Three Graces – Pomona (fruit), Flora (flowers), and Ceres (grain) – into vibrant, contemporary works of art
Artstart fosters artistic growth by mentoring and educating Sonoma County youth through hands-on work experience, creating impactful art that enriches our community.
The project was funded by a Creative Sonoma grant obtained by Asherah Weiss with ArtStart and Jeanna Collette from The Sebastopol Grange.
The Sebastopol Grange #306 is in its 126th year of serving the community. It serves as a vital gathering place, offering a variety of programs and events that celebrate the community and improves the lives of rural people. Sebastopol Grange stays true to its roots and works to build community.
