This year, under the sponsorship of the Trumbull Nature and Arts Center and State Senator Marilyn Moore, the Connecticut Mural Project completed a 10 ft x 4 ft traveling banner. The banner features nearly 400 paper butterflies that were painted by second-graders from six elementary schools in Trumbull, Monroe, and Bridgeport. In addition to being displayed at the Trumbull Library (May 1-May 22), the banner will also be on display at the Connecticut Capitol Building in Hartford and at Trumbull Day on July 1st.
