NORTHAMPTON — A mural of Northampton painted by young people in the Valley went up at Serio’s Market Wednesday as part of a project displaying art by Iraqi and American youth.
The mural was painted in 2009 by 16 youths ages 14 through 18, under the guidance of two local artists and a visiting Iraqi artist. It features the Connecticut River, City Hall, a book — to represent the intellectual nature of the community — protesters with signs, and the Smith College campus bridge.
The mural is part of “How Will They Know Us? An Iraqi/American Mural Project,” which consists of 16 murals painted by American and Iraqi youths to reflect their homes and communities.
