One of our goals is to install more public art in the Greenway. So we're very pleased to announce that TWO new murals will be installed this weekend!
The murals will be created by artists Reggie LeFlore and Focus Smith as part of the Lyn-Lake Street Art Series, July 16 - 17.
Stop by this weekend to see them painting the murals in the Greenway at Bryant and Aldrich Avenues.
Mr. LeFlore's mural (sketch above) will celebrate the history of the Greenway corridor and the workers who built it. More information about Reggie LeFlore: https://ral86.com/
Mr. Smith's mural will be an homage to the native people who occupied this land before any sort of white establishment. More information about Focus Smith: https://blackhillsvisitor.com/learn/culture/arts-museums/black-hills-artist-feature-derek-focus-smith/
Special thanks to the Lake Street Council for providing a grant to the Midtown Greenway Coalition to support this project. And to the Lyn-Lake Business Association for their partnership in supporting the street art festival and murals in the Greenway.
