Due to the excellent results produced in Phase One of the project, we were invited by New York State to submit a proposal for Phase Two funding. The proposal, developed jointly by the partners – the Town of Ticonderoga, assisted by Ti-Alliance and the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County (HAPEC) – was funded for 2021-April, 2022.
The Ticonderoga Mural Project
One mural is on the side of the Ti Barbershop building near the Sunoco station on Champlain Avenue. It was designed by Ti High arts teacher Britney McCarthy Shaw and her students. It was painted by Jim Beaty, Seddon Beaty, Patty Hogan, Keeley Andrushko, and Maryann Andrushko with support from Aubuchon Hardware, Bill Best, and Paul Connery.
The second mural can be seen on the retaining wall in front of the hospital on Wicker Street. It was designed and painted by Maura Jebb, a Ticonderoga High School student, and her mom and friends, with mentoring from Joan Pulling, a local artist. Funding for the project was in part made possible by the Essex County Arts Council CAP Grant supported by public funds from Essex County.
