MAYOR MANZI NAMES JOSHUA LETOURNEAU AS JANUARY’S ARTIST OF THE MONTH
Methuen Artist’s Work on Display in the Mayor’s Office

Mayor William M. Manzi has named Joshua Letourneau as January’s Artist of the Month. Joshua is a Methuen resident and graduated from Westfield State College in 2001 where he majored in Art with a concentration in Graphic Design.

“While at Westfield State I took several different paths towards becoming a painter. I was exposed to not only painting but also sculpture, clay, and much more. But the medium that appealed to me most was painting. I found that I had a natural talent that I never knew existed,” Letourneau said.

Mayor Manzi stated, “Joshua is one of the talented young artists living and painting in Methuen. It is my pleasure to display his paintings in my office. I encourage the public to come by City Hall and view his colorful paintings.”

The Methuen Artist of the Month Program was created by Mayor Manzi over two years ago in order to give members of the Methuen Arts Community a forum to display their work and to encourage participation in Methuen’s growing creative economy. Methuen artists interested in being considered for Artist of the Month should contact the Mayor’s Office.
