East Town Mural Project

The East Town Mural Project is a public mural project engaging K-12 students and adults of the East Town neighborhood to develop and create a public mural that communicates the history, culture, and aspirations of their community. The project will take place between July and October 2016.
The East Town Mural is supported through a grant from the Missouri Arts Council. Additional support is needed, as the grant project required a dollar-for-dollar match with private funding.
