The final event of the 2025 PAINT CHQ Mural Festival! A dedication of a brand new, public mural, featuring the artwork of Alain Welter, will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday, September 13 in Dunkirk, NY. The Dedication Event will take place in the parking lot in front of the mural, and along the 200 block of Central Ave, which will be turned into a pedestrian-only street for this event. Stick around after the dedication to enjoy live music, beer and wine, face painting, bounce house, crafts, and more!
Announced in February, Paint CHQ is a new initiative intended to help focus on the important role public art plays in placemaking and strengthening local communities. For the inaugural year, four communities have been selected to host the new murals: Dunkirk, Falconer, Sherman, and Westfield. Coordinating the effort is Alexandra Hall from A H Public Spaces Consulting, LLC, who has assisted with other community mural project around the country.
Funding for this project is allotted through CCPEG’s placemaking initiative, and additional funding has come from grant funding through New York State Council on the Arts, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Arts Services Inc., Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, Lake Shore Savings, and the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County.
