The Transformative Power of Public Art

Renowned Eastern Shore artist, Michael Rosato, will speak about his mural art at the St. Michaels Library on Saturday, March 7 at 1:30 p.m.. He is known for his murals in Maryland and other locations in the mid-Atlantic region and elsewhere. His most notable and most recent outdoor mural is the “Take My Hand” mural in Cambridge, MD. The mural depicts Harriet Tubman and received world-wide attention. Other examples of his art are found locally in Dorchester County and are included in the Chesapeake Country Mural Trail. These murals can be accessed on-line at visitdorchester.org/Chesapeake-country-mural-trail/. The event is co-hosted by the Rotary Club of St. Michaels, Phillips Wharf Environmental Center, and the Talbot County Free Library, St. Michaels Branch. Coffee and dessert will be provided.
