2023 MSC Community Mural Weekend

Join us on April 29nd and 30th from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM for a FREE weekend workshop to help the museum create a community mural on the exterior of the art museum.

Local artist Joshua Lawyer will be leading the project, which focuses on the effect the past two years of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the Santa Rosa community and what the future might look like for us all. 

Community members will have the chance to be a part of the project by collaboratively painting the window installation. 

Thank you to Sonoma County Vintners Foundation for their generous support!
