IMAGINED WORLDS
Located at the JFK Middle School in Florence, the "Imagined Worlds" mural welcomes the school community every day on the front facing wall of the school. The design for the mural was developed over the course of the school year and is based on student artwork.

THE INSPIRATION
"Imagined Worlds” is a year-long therapeutic art curriculum brought to public schools to create a public mural based on student artwork. The program centers around the question: “What would a world look like where you would feel happy and safe?” Students are asked to imagine and visualize a space where they can feel positive and safe.
COMMUNITY PAINT PARTY
Students, teachers, and parents joined us in a vibrant community paint party, laying the foundation for our mural panels. With brushes in hand, attendees became co-creators, setting the stage before our artists added the final masterful touches in the studio. A truly collaborative burst of color and creativity!
PROJECT PARTNERS
A collaborative venture, "Imagined Worlds" was made possible by the Northampton Education Foundation, Wohl Family Dentistry, D.A. Sullivan & Sons, Cooley Dickinson, Amy Gilburg, Western Mass Heating and Cooling, Maple and Main Realty, Berkshire Design Group, Northeast Solar Design Associates, Keiter, and the Dead River Company.
