Art Meets History in Easton

Easton, Maryland is about to get a vibrant art explosion this summer thanks to Brooklyn-based artist Esteban del Valle, who’s transforming the old Armory into a creative hub. Inspired by a wild 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoon where a band keeps playing through a tornado, del Valle’s massive new pieces are headed to the Academy Art Museum. But the real magic? He’s teaming up with Talbot Mentors to create a community mural featuring local youth, set to debut on Juneteenth facing the historic Hill Community — one of the nation’s oldest free Black neighborhoods. The mural’s grand reveal kicks off the museum’s Juneteenth celebration on Saturday, June 20, from noon to four PM. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
