To all who helped to make Bees Across New Britain possible

In addition to the generous individuals, organizations, and businesses who sponsored Bees, we thank and acknowledge the efforts of David Huck in the Office of Mayor Stewart, and the labors of Mark Moriarty and Mike Thompson and New Britain’s Department of Public Works. Catherine McKinnon and Mutual Housing Association of Greater Hartford very generously donated the use of the first floor of Anvil Place as artist workspace. The Woman’s Club of New Britain provided funds to help pay for the protective coating that was applied to all the Bees. The American Savings Foundation is supporting the production of small-scale versions of the Bees to be painted by our New Britain Pubic School Children at the direction of their art teachers. Local artist Craig Frederick designed and executed the Bee maquette. Finally, Bees Across New Britain could not have taken place without Mayor Erin Stewart who not only conceived the idea, but wholeheartedly supported it at every juncture. Without that support this project simply could not have been successful.
