Community Arts
Community arts projects:
- empower both individuals and the community as people experience working together on a cooperative project to see their ideas become reality
- Create beauty
- give ownership and pride
- create community
Creativity is an integral part of every individual’s ability to live a fulfilled life. Everyone has creative potential. Our creative imagination needs to be liberated and cultivated.
Here are some ways Lynn made creative arts projects available for her community with the intention of building community through the arts.
Mosaic Murals mosaic murals
Lynn organized community built mosaic murals in her town Phoenixville, PA and two in Switzerland. Community volunteers helped design, install the tiles and grout. Click link to see gallery.
Lynn sponsored Giant puppet builds at her studio for the Celebrating Diversity Parade in Phoenixville, PA and created community puppet builds in Switzerland for festivals. Large scale puppets are larger than life which generates imagination and connect people to something greater than themselves. Click link for gallery.

Firebird Festival firebird festival
Lynn organized artists to build a 20' wooden Phoenix sculpture in Phoenixville, PA. The community makes over 100 clay birds that are fired when the sculpture is bonfired. The whole town becomes a performance art venue with street performers, musicians and craft vendors in mid December.
Lynn codirects a 20 piece improv orchestra with the telling of the Phoenix myth at the Colonial Theatre the night of the event. Click on link for info.
