2023 Community Project

June 9 to July 28

This collaborative painting was created by 36 local artists to celebrate and support
the work of the United Way of Franklin County 

36 artists from across our community - some Foundry members, but many not
- have created panels which have now been brought together
and assembled to form a large multi-media mosaic painting.
The 36 panels represent diverse artistic expressions unique to each individual artist,
but when viewed together, the work speaks with one voice celebrating the work of the United Way.

This painting depicts United Way’s annual Learn and Play Day 2022
which introduced families to services available across the community. 
Held annually, Learn and Play Day shows families how there are learning opportunities every day in our community.

Community Painting Project 2022

This collaborative painting was created by 36 local artists to celebrate and support the work of the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter.

36 artists from across our community – some Foundry members, but many not - have each worked to create panels which have now been brought together and assembled to form a large multi-media mosaic painting.  The 36 panels represent diverse artistic expressions unique to each individual artist, but when viewed together, the work speaks with one voice celebrating the work of the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter. Each artist was given a canvas and a portion of a larger picture. None of the artists knew what the whole picture looked like, just their assigned piece. The canvases were then assembled together at the Foundry.

The finished picture can be seen from June 17 to July 24, 2022.

Come to our store and sponsor a canvas to benefit the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter.

The Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter staff works 365 days a year to clean, medicate, nurture, protect, and ultimately find loving homes for the animals in the kennels.  This painting celebrates the important work done by the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter.

Collaborative Community Painting 2020

A collaborative painting created by 36 women from our community.
This painting depicts Chambersburg‘s beloved Falafel Shack restaurant,
located on our Square, at 9 N. Main St. The Falafel Shack was created by the family of Amer Chaudry and Jasmina Ademovic, with the goal of expanding people’s pallets and minds with their food.
They began with a stand at the North Square Farmers Market in 2013,
and have just celebrated the third anniversary of the restaurant!
The painting depicts their kitchen on a typical summer day,
with workers, including Daniela Crawford, Aaron McKenzie,
and in the background, Amer Chaudry.
