A New Mural On Main Street!

The Cook Foundation places its fifth mural on Main Street starting on Monday, May 16th.

Built in 1928, the Hudson Building is one of the iconic Main Street buildings in Gloucester. Noted for both its location next door to Arts on Main and its storied history, the 50’ overhang features this year’s mural by Richmond artist Matt Lively. 

Gloucester County adopted the beehive on its seal, symbolizing the unity and labor of a colony, or the unity of a community working together. Local use of the beehive symbol dates back to the early 1800s and we are thrilled to connect Matt's famous bees to our beehives!

Matt Lively is an artist living in Richmond, Virginia. He is a sculptor, painter, and muralist; has designed installations, worked on films, and illustrated books. Come out and watch Matt at work here on our very own Main Street!
