Montclair’s Newest Public Art: 'Reverberations Of Reawakenings'

Local Artists Marguerite Kaufer, Nicole Nuzzolo, and Lauren Vroegindewey are pleased to present Reverberations of Reawakenings, a 35 by 8 feet mural currently on view at 613 Valley Road Montclair, NJ. The opening ceremony is being held on Sunday, October 10th at 3:00PM.

In Reverberations of Reawakenings, local artists bring a new mural to the heart of Upper Montclair as a reflection on community appreciation and hope for more vibrant days. After living through a pandemic that has resulted in islands of loss and isolation, these artists offer a tribute to those lost due to the pandemic, including Jordan Tassy, who became a Montclairian local hero by pitching in when sanitation workers were hit with a COVID outbreak. Using their vibrant tools of creativity, they have crafted an uplifting vision for this next chapter of Upper Montclair’s history.

This mural is an interactive gift to the public as the community is encouraged to write the names of those lost due to Covid-19 in the clouds of the mural with pens provided by the artists.
