Local artists interested in exhibiting their skills to the public have an opportunity to do so the mural contest currently being held in the Village of Dryden.
The winner will receive $3,000 and have the chance to design and paint wings of either a local bird or butterfly on the outside wall of the Dryden Hotel on Main Street.
The contestâs facilitators, Mary Kirkwyland and Paula Wilson Parker, drew the inspiration for the project from The Global Angel Wing Project, which is a collection of street art of angel wings painted by various artists â the first being the founder of the project, Colette Miller, in 2012 â across the world. Millerâs first pair of wings were commissioned to âremind humanity that we are the angels of the earth.â
