A group of artists, community members and family and friends of the victims of the Lewiston mass shooting are honoring and remembering the victims in a new art installation at LA Arts.

The project has been in the works for the two years since the shooting, which took place in October 2023, and is a collective community project.

The sculpture reaches almost to the ceiling of the gallery, and visitors are invited to walk through and view the inside of the structure.

Jen McDermott is one of the three artists that helped lead the project. She said the outside of the sculpture is supposed to be bright and full of light, with blue fabric representing the flowing Androscoggin River and glowing roof panels made by local Lewiston residents that depict what they love about their community.
