These photos show it in progress in my backyard and displayed in “Within Providence”<\/a> at the Providence Rink at Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday, July 12, as part of a giant art map of the city.<\/p>\n

“Imagine 30 billboard-size pieces of vinyl connected to make one giant mural that practically fills the enormous space of the skating rink.

Throughout the day and evening, the community will be invited to ‘color in’ different sections of the map with valuable memories and experiences.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
