Frieri’s honeybee-themed mural will delight passersby from now through the fall. Frieri drew inspiration for his colorful mural from his love of nature, especially honeybees. At some point during the winter, the hotel expects to debut its next mural, designed and painted by NYC-based graphic designer and letterer Brian Kaspr.
A longtime art enthusiast himself, Ed Gormbley, managing director of the real estate investment firm that owns the hotels, is delighted to incorporate yet another public art initiative into the hotel landscape. “The playful Paparazzi Dogs brought happiness to locals and travelers alike. Now, The Circle Hotel Mural Project gives us the opportunity to feature both locally and nationally-known artists as well as offer a platform for us to collaborate with local organizations like Fairfield’s high schools, Sacred Heart University and Fairfield University” remarked Gormbley. He added, “We’re excited to add some color to the Post Road landscape, and we look forward to hearing what locals think about our mural project.”
