HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED WCT’s ART IN THE ALLEY?
One of my favorite memories is from the spring of 2018- thecensoredartist and I embarked on a mural-painting adventure during downtown Greensburg’s Arts Walk. We watched the town light up with zeal as people emerged from winter’s hibernation, welcoming the sunshine and celebrating the arts. Painting felt like a dance, and on concrete walls we planted bold flowers in candy-coated, vibrant hues.
I cherished and savored every second of that day. I was set to begin chemotherapy just five days later and wore a large scarf to hide the bandages and soreness from my port insertion that happened a day prior. I had told very few at that point in time, perhaps in fear of being a burden, perhaps in fear of disrupting the normalcy that had felt destined to be extinguished, and perhaps because I knew that in accepting a new reality, I would be forced to part with a version of myself who I had just begun to learn to love.
...but as we painted, none of what was to come seemed to matter. I felt alive. I felt 26, unsinkable, and so connected to our community… protected by friendship and love and the power of expression. It’s funny to see images of “past Stacey” preparing for an unknown that “current Stacey” has experienced and now reflects on through memories. The highs. The lows.
I celebrated a milestone this week- my implanted port that was used to deliver chemo was removed on Wednesday. The nurses in interventional radiology surprised me in the recovery room with a gorgeous slice of celebratory cake… adorned with sprinkles in the same vibrant hues as the garden that Sarah and I painted. I am forever touched by every act of kindness and love I've been fortunate enough to have received - from the art community, the medical community, my Macy's family, my parents, my dear friends, other survivors who have shared their knowledge and insight... You are all vibrant flowers. And I will do everything I can to pay it forward.

A closer look at the handprint butterflies, one of many new additions to Art in the Alley this past week! 🦋
More than 25 children ages newborn to 18 participated in the collaborative project at Greensburg Garden & Civic Center. Students from Greensburg Central Catholic High School assisted younger children as they captured their handprints. The prints were then transformed into butterfly designs, which were made into die-cut stickers. The children’s first names are incorporated to look like grass at the bottom of the door.
The project, partially funded by the Westmoreland County Parks & Recreation Local Arts Grant, was conceived by Malinda Sherid (@malindasherid) , founder of the Second Chance Fund, an initial funder that helped launch Art in the Alley in 2018.
The installation was designed by Greensburg-Salem High School senior, Evelyn Swanson, with assistance from artist Stacy Pydynkowski (@something___witty).
Thank you to @blueskysignco for printing the butterflies.
