AMP’s future is packed in 2009. We have begun to reach out across the state, selecting AMPassadors in communities south and east of our northwest corner to help us spread the word about the project.

The 75 people who came to our Community Forum at the mill this October have inspired us to begin tours of the mural building on selected weekends this spring, as soon as the weather warms up, through the fall.

Our show at the Tremaine Gallery at the Hotchkiss School in February marked the first in a series we are planning to unveil in the coming year. Starting with McKinley Elementary in Fairfield Connecticut, we are also working to expand our local network of educational programs throughout the tri-state region.

As we continue to involve people across the country in the mural’s creation, the AMP crew will head for Las Vegas this May for our Nevada State Project with the Andre Agassi Academy, its students, their families, and members of the local community in the spring of the school’s first graduation. We will then travel to Pennsylvania for a ceramics project with Bill Strickland at the Manchester Craftsman’s Guild. Our Healthcorps, Habitat for Humanity, and Space Studies projects will continue across the country (pictures on our website will reveal the latest Space Studies projects as they arrive.)

Now, after 10 years of dreaming about it, we are about to renovate the mill building and begin to install the mural. Our fundraising is vital to these plans. We need you, once again, to AMP up.
