FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Help Transform the Wayland Pool Wall

For more than a year, a broad coalition of Wayland residents, students, volunteers, and community organizations has been working together to create a new mural at the Wayland Community Pool — a space that has been repeatedly targeted by hate graffiti.

This project brings together the Wayland Community Pool, Arts Wayland, WaylandCAN, the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, Wayland High School students and staff, faith-based partners, and many dedicated community members with one shared goal: transforming a site of harmful, threatening messages into a visually welcoming mural, reflective of the community values that connect our town.

We're honored to be partnering with muralist and Wayland High School graduate Lena McCarthy Art to help bring this vision to life.

We've successfully raised half of our fundraising goal and are now asking for your help to close the remaining gap.

Donations will support artist materials, wall preparation, installation, community participation events, and preservation of the mural for years to come.

Every donation matters, so please give what you can.

is Join us in creating something beautiful together.
