What happens when history, art, and community transformation converge on six brick walls in Ticonderoga, NY? In this episode of ADK Talks, we sit down with Nicole Justice Green, Executive Director of the Essex County Land Bank, to explore the story behind “Walls Between Waters” — a bold new mural project and public event happening Saturday that’s transforming once-vacant buildings into landmarks.
Green shares the inspiration behind the project, how world-renowned artists and community voices came together to tell Ticonderoga’s story through paint, and what this kind of creative revitalization means for the future of Essex County towns.
Is it public art? Is it place-making? Is it a love letter to a region steeped in natural beauty and layered history? Yes, yes, and yes.
