Wings for Change Turns Vandalism into Art | Portland Maine News
Description
Lewiston’s streets are getting a colorful makeover thanks to “Wings for Change,” a bold public art initiative led by local artist Melanie Therrien. Instead of ignoring graffiti, the city is turning it into vibrant murals—especially butterfly wings, symbols of transformation and renewal. Property owners can request free artistic coverage for vandalism through August 24th, with artists collaborating to turn damaged walls into beauty. Plus, Therrien’s Community Paint Days invite residents to join hands in painting wings on paper, which she’ll then install on buildings using her signature adhesive technique. It’s art, community, and change—all painted right onto Lewiston’s future.
