Messages of Hope at the DePauw Nature Park
On view: May 21-September 30, 2021
Greencastle, IN – DePauw University presents an interactive public art display Messages of Hope, visual representations of life after the pandemic. The display will be on view beginning May 21 and will be on display until September 30, 2021.
Messages of Hope is a community participatory project coordinated by the Museum Studies students at DePauw University. The project’s founder, artist Frank Maugeri, developed the project in 2020 in order to facilitate the expression of hundreds of participants seeking to convey a sense of hope during a time of uncertainty. Maugeri partnered with DePauw University’s Museum Studies students to bring the project to Greencastle, Indiana where over 60 participants created a shadow box expressing a unique message of hope using a variety of materials and objects at hand. The public can view the boxes at DePauw Nature Park as they walk along the Rail and Creekside trail.
