Saturday Unveiling Of The Completed Mural Mosaic At Ross Park Zoo

Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots Project in December announced its collaboration with the Ross Park Zoo in Binghamton as the America Together National Mural Mosaic, as part of the Zoo's Sesquicentennial Celebration. The Ross Park Zoo was selected as the U.S. location for the mural.

Twin Tiers residents (and even some of the zoo animals) stepped up to create their paintings on the tiles to make up the final mural. Now that the mural is complete, it is set to be unveiled to the public.

On Saturday, February 22nd at 1:30 p.m. at Binghamton’s Ross Park off Morgan Road, Binghamton, Zoo Executive Director, Phillip Ginter will be joined by representatives of the America Together National Mural Mosaic and some of the participating ‘artists’ who purchased tiles to paint and include in the impressive final art installation.

The unveiling will be held at the Ross Park Zoo pavilions, just inside the Morgan Road entrance to the property. The public is invited to attend.

Ros Park notes that the Mural Mosaic’s Global Roots is a unique initiative that aims to bring people from around the world together through the power of art. Each collaborative Mural Mosaic production invites people from communities everywhere to connect and celebrate their unity through their diverse expressions of art.

With each tile placed in a mural, Global Roots is reconnecting the world through the joy of art – one tile, one mural mosaic, one country at a time. For more information about the mural and unveiling, contact the Ross Park Zoo at 607-724-5461.
