3 Programs Mural Project Description Outdoor Mural Project in central business district of Marlborough, Ma. Plan to eventually have 2-3 murals depicting historical events, persons & places from Marlborough & region. Using the power of art & murals, it is our intent to create an "Outdoor Historical Art Museum" that will be open 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a yr and will be "Free". Persons who don't normally attend museums will now have the opportunity to do so & will be educated on history of Marlborough, Mass. & N.Eng. We plan on hiring professional muralists & having museum quality paintings. We also plan on having hidden objects in the murals & people will have to study them to find them. In doing so, especially children will be learning about history & art without realizing it.

4 Gasoline Station/Museum Description To save & restore a 1928 Gas Station (oldest in city) located in the downtown,that was taken by the city for back taxes & environmentally cleaned up by the city & EPA grants. We hope to restore the station to how it originally looked and also to make a Museum out of it. It would highlight the 2 industries that played a major role in Marlborough becoming a city, (Shoes & Apples). It would also house the complete contents of a shoe repair shop that operated on Main St. for almost 1yrs. in the 19/2s. It was donated to the city & has been in storage for many years now. It would house artifacts, info.& photos from the Historical Society. It would be manned by docents who will be volunteers from the Hist.Soc & Sr. Citizens.Assoc.

Program Comments CEO Comments The biggest challenge that we faced in carrying out our "Mural Project" was receiving approval from the city to do it. It has taken 5 years to finally receive that approval. w that we have received that, our next biggest challenge comes in finding funding for the project. We expect to address this by applying to various foundations, for state funding through the Ma. Cultural Council and corporate contributions. Another challenge facing us is that of trying to save the oldest gasoline station (1928) in the city and create a museum depicting the shoe & apples industries. We plan to join forces with the Marlborough Historical Society, the Marlborough Downtown Village Assoc. and the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce. to convince the city to do this instead of tearing it down and then to find funding to do the museum. Our biggest challenge facing us will be that of finding funding for our programs. 5
