Lady Liberty Community Art Project

Type: Other

Workshop13 wants YOU to participate! We’re inviting community members of all ages to help create a large-scale modern Lady Liberty puppet to delight the crowds at Ware’s celebration parade on August 1, 2026. Your artwork will be incorporated into Lady Liberty’s flowing robes, bringing together public art, storytelling, and community participation.

WHO: All ages & abilities are invited to participate.
 
WHAT: Use 8 ½” x 11″ paper or fabric to draw, paint, write a message, poem, pattern, or artwork of inspiration and hope for the future.
Your artwork will become part of Lady Liberty’s robe — a colorful quilt of hopes, dreams, and community stories. There is no wrong way to participate!
 
Prompts to inspire you:
  • What does freedom mean to you?
  • I dream of a world where…
  • If Lady Liberty could carry one message from you, what would it say?
  • What kind of world do you hope future generations inherit?
