Artist Joel Haynes delivers a message with downtown mural
The mural creates a great photo op, but the artist s motives go much deeper.
GREAT BARRINGTON The recent deluge of rain has hardly dampened the spirits of artist Joel Haynes. Perhaps you’ve spied him, atop scaffolding in the alley between Tom’s Toys and Calyx Berkshire Dispensary, intent upon bringing a panoply of flowers and birds to life for a single purpose: a downtown art installation for all to enjoy.
When the elements ruined construction early on (the boards Haynes primed and affixed to the building’s brick facade buckled under the intense moisture), Haynes found himself back at square one with a smile. “The beautiful thing is, while it might be confusing for a few days, I’ve already done it once,” Haynes told The Edge on a recent rainy afternoon.
