Lauren Clayton Named Season.03 Muralist and Artist at The SEED, Stamford

I’m honored to share that I’ve been selected as the Season.03 muralist and featured artist at The Seed in Stamford, Connecticut! This exciting collaboration includes a newly painted exterior mural and a curated exhibition of my artwork inside the space. The exhibition opens Thursday, June 11th from 5-8 PM at the corner of Richmond Hill Avenue and Greenwich Avenue a part of the Mill River Park River Walk in Stamford, CT. It will remain on view through September 2026.

The Seed has become a growing creative presence in Stamford, bringing together art, culture and community. Founded by creatives Wilson Beltran and Weverson Ponte, it continues to evolve as a hub for collaboration, conversation, and public art. Previous seasons at The Seed have featured work by artists including JPO Art, Calicho Art, and Israel Acosta. The initiative is supported through a collaboration between Mill River Park, RiseUP for Arts and WellBuilt and Stamford Murals, organizations committed to strengthening community connection through art, culture, and placemaking.

As an artist and muralist based in Stamford, I am especially excited because much of my work explores themes of identity, connectivity, and our impact in our community and beyond. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to create murals in Stamford, Norwalk, and New York, collaborating with nonprofits, businesses, and initiatives that value creativity as a tool for making an impact.

Guests are invited to celebrate the launch, meet supporters of The Seed, explore the artwork, and enjoy music by DJ Dinero. I would love for you to join us for the opening reception on Thursday, June 11th between 5-8 PM. Come experience the new mural, original art and connect with fellow creatives and community members. Whether you’ve followed my work for years or are discovering it for the first time, I hope this exhibition creates space for inspiration, conversation, and new connections throughout the summer.
