Jet Participates in Color Project

February 14, 2006

The 2006 theme New Haven's outdoor gallery is diversity, aptly called the Color Project. The artwork is hand-painted on vinyl banners mounted on New Haven lampposts. The exhibit will be displayed throughout much of downtown from early January through mid-May.

Sponsored by rePublicArt, the exhibition engages the community in its design and is expected to attract visitors to downtown with a walking guide map.

Jet Cleaners, in celebration of its 50th Anniversary in 2006, designed and painted a banner using an element from its 1956 storefront sign...a laundered shirt. Mike Amore, Jet's owner and his daughter, Kristen executed the banner using yellow, and its complementary color, purple, to stay within the guidelines of the project.


The banner is displayed at the corner of State and Wall Streets. To view the outside gallery, it sponsors and other information, please visit www.colorproject.org.
