Village of Chester Arts (VOCA) Hunt for Art
Village of Chester Arts (VOCA), with a grant from Vision Hudson Valley, has created a project called Hunt for Art that spans Downtown Chester. Twelve local artists painted small boards with historical and cultural motifs from Chester’s rich past. These mini murals are being displayed at select locations in the downtown area. Self-guided maps are available at the Village Hall, the Heritage Trail, the Erie Depot Museum and throughout the Village.
See if you can find them all and learn about Chester’s vibrant history!
