Join the Davenport House Museum in commemorating America’s 250th with the Wish Wall, a collaborative community art project that invites community members to share their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future. Part of Made By Us's Civic Season and the nationwide commemoration of America's 250th anniversary, the project encourages us to reflect not only on where we've been, but also on where we're going.
Throughout Civic Season—the period between Juneteenth and Independence Day—communities across the country are coming together to connect with history, celebrate civic engagement, and imagine the future. Here in Savannah, the Wish Wall offers an opportunity to add your voice to that conversation.
Community members of all ages are invited to contribute a wish to a growing participatory mural that will capture our collective hopes for Savannah and the nation over the next 250 years. Whether your wish is big, bold, practical, or heartfelt, it will become part of a shared work of art created by and for the community.
Join us for the launch celebration on Friday, June 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Davenport House Museum Garden. Meet project partners, add your wish, and help us create a vibrant community vision for the future.
The Wish Wall will remain available for public participation through July 10. Admission is free, and all are welcome. Registration is encouraged.
