FAIRFIELD A locally created mural promoting diversity and inclusion could be coming to town as part of a statewide initiative to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.
“It’s a way to demonstrate communities are open and welcoming to a diverse group,” said Matt Conway, executive director for RiseUp for the Arts, the group leading the effort.
CT Murals, a part of RiseUp for the Arts, is partnering with 39 communities across Connecticut to create a mural for each year of King’s life and have them up by the next Martin Luther King Day. Each mural will represent the messages, images and symbols that King stood for, according to the group.
