Description

Join us for the Mary and Eliza Freeman mural unveiling on Saturday, June 5th at 11:00 a.m. around the corner from 1135 Main Street. Join the Bridgeport Downtown Special Services District (DSSD) and The Mary & Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community to unveil the Mary and Eliza Freeman mural! Local artist, Aisha Nailah, produced this public mural commemorating the legacy of Mary and Eliza Freeman. The mural will “color in” another corner of an emerging public art destination within Downtown Bridgeport, connecting the Broad Street Steps with the ground mural at Peacock Alley, and the Arrows Weave mural located at 1163 Main Street. The mural will attract daily visitors to enjoy the improved physical setting of the space and educate them about the history and legacy of the Mary and Eliza Freeman. And then stick around after lunch! At 1:30 p.m., we will kick off our fourth Jane + Laurayne’s Walk, an event where the unique story of how we see, interact with, and feel about our city will be explored on film, on foot, and on bicycle.
