Lexington Park Alive!
At St. Mary's County Community Development Corporation, our vision is to create a community where mental health is a top priority and individuals can access the resources they need to achieve optimal well-bein Lexington Park Alive! was the first mural project by St. Mary’s Community Development Corp. (CDC) in collaboration with the St. Mary’s County Arts Council. The CDC’s Art Park Committee held a contest for design submissions and the winner was Lynn Wescoe. The mural was completed in 2017.

Artist Rainbow
“Artist Rainbow” combines the faces of famous artists, speakers, poets, orators, a hip hop musician, a street artist, a Piscataway performing artist, and that very famous smiling portrait!
Roz Racanello, former St. Mary’s CDC staff artist, was inspired to design the collage after overseeing the installation of the corporation’s first mural Lexington Park Alive!
A competition was held to select four additional Maryland artists to work with Ms. Racanello on “Artist Rainbow” ; those selected were Kailee Findlay, Caitlin Jones, Elizabeth Lopez, and Katia Meisinger. St. Mary's County Community Development Corporation was founded in 1995 by a group of community members who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping homeless individuals. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year.
