"Giving" by Brad Leiby

Presented by Community Arts of Elmira - Elmira Infinite Canvas with Meals on Wheels with City of Elmira Second District Councilperson Brent Stermer.

"Giving" by Artist Brad Leiby at Meals on Wheels, 409 William Street, Elmira, New York, 14901 Brad Leiby designed and installed this signature mural. The figures will be blueish green for skin tone. This stands out from the blue of the background enough to separate them but keep them a part of the same blue-toned world. Their clothing is also blue variations for the same reason. They are made of the same material that their world is made of. The woman is handing a bowl of flowers to the man. This gesture could represent the giving of something that can bring positivity to someone who does not have the ability to do that independently, and the woman's closed eyes could represent giving unconditionally. The mural is a call out to people who are in need and to people who have help to offer. Ribbon Cutting: June 10, 2019. Community Arts of Elmira is grateful to City of Elmira Second District Councilperson Brent Stermer for his public art initiatives and advocacy, to the supporting grants and sponsorships that pay for the artists working for Elmira Infinite Canvas and for the supplies they use for the murals, to the partnering businesses, the Elmira Infinite Canvas Public Art Ambassadors who help prepare and maintain public art sites, and, ultimately, to the artists for their magnificent collaboration with the community.
