Part of the 2025 PAINT CHQ Mural Festival! A dedication of a brand new, public mural, featuring the artwork of Emily Ding and Justin Suarez, will take place at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, September 13 in Sherman, NY. The Dedication Event will take place on stage across from the Cornerstone Restaurant.
A full day of free events is lined up from 11:30am-6pm, when a variety of local artists will be showcased, including everything from tie dying to woodworking, and kids’ crafts. After the mural dedication, stick around for the Sherman Music Festival, with games and entertainment, vendors and food trucks, and live music from 2-11pm.
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.
