Let It Shine! Mural Unveiling
2024-09-06 17:00 - 17:30
A new mural will be unveiled this Friday, September 6 at 5 pm and the public is invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony. The Pittsfield Let It Shine! Public Art Partnership recently selected local artist Shelsy Rodriguez to co-create a new mural to be located at the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority Intermodal Center located at 1 Columbus Avenue, Pittsfield. Shelsy Rodriguez worked alongside mentor artist, Jesse Tobin McCauley, to develop and execute a transit-themed mural that will debut at 5 pm on Friday, September 6 during First Fridays Artswalk/First Fridays at Five.
Shelsy Rodriguez (Stephx), a visual artist focused on painting and photography, is a student of environmental sciences. She is from Colombia, a place full of color, tradition, diversity, and life. Her artistic work is based on the expression of the beauty she observes around her, the beauty found in everyday life in those small details that make us feel that nature is part of us.
Shelsy uses painting to bring awareness, so that when people see what she does, they take away the idea of the importance of connecting with nature and being grateful to the past, to their roots, to unite with the present and to be aware of how we can improve the future of the environment.
