Our Mission:
The preservation of history through community art
Mural Mania began with
Noel Dobbins and Mark DeCracker and others in Lyons in 2007. Noel was especially interested in a series of
murals along the canal corridor. Noel
passed away later that year, but Mark has carried the torch since then with
great enthusiasm. In the spring of 2013
after discovering murals in Colquitt, GA and Dothan, AL, Walworth Town
Historian Gene Bavis joined Mark in Mural Mania.
MMAC Goals:
Ø
To promote the mission of Mural Mania: “the preservation of history through
community art.”
Ø
To maintain a list of mural artist, local and
outside of the area. This list would
include professionals and talented amateurs.
Ø
To gather technical and supplier information
that would assist local groups to carry out their project(s).
Ø
To assist local groups in any way possible to
create more murals for our area. This
would include publicity and fundraising, and any other possible assistance and
support we can give.
Ø
To coordinate with Tourist Promotion Agencies,
the Seaway Trail group, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, local
historical societies, and any other groups possible to carry out the mission.

County and/or the Finger Lakes Region.
