A group of up-and-coming artists are continuing to add color to the Sheehan-Basquil park in Manchester’s center city. Despite some setbacks from the city , the group was able to paint a colorful mural on the side of the park’s little league clubhouse.

Participant Effie Ntongo is a rising senior at West High School. She explained that the theme of the project was “Thoughts Projected,” looking to what the future could be.

“The world right now is not really looking very good,” she said. “It's not what people would imagine it to be. So we did the mural to show a different world, like our thoughts projected what we would like to see.”

This theme inspired her to create a work of art depicting interconnected figures, which was based on her hopes for more connection and unity.
