KENNETT SQUARE, PA — The Kennett Trails Alliance is inviting residents to take part in a new art initiative called ā€œNature’s Canvas: Art on the Kennett Greenway.ā€ The project aims to build community pride and environmental awareness along the 14-mile trail currently under development. Participants, including youth and seniors, will create banners and help paint four large murals designed by Philadelphia artist Kala Hagopian. These murals, which depict native plant and animal life, will be installed along the Greenway and include QR codes linking to educational materials. A major community painting event is set for July 26 at Anson B. Nixon Park. The project highlights the Alliance’s mission to combine health, education, and cultural engagement through public spaces.
