Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library

Help paint the Great Mural Wall ... no experience necessary!

image

Have you seen what's happening at 20th and Western? Wanna help and be part of history and a community art installation? See what we're talking about (you'll be helping to fill in the blanks—literally).

Come help Lawrence artist, David Lowenstein, fill in his design this weekend. You don't have to be an artist or know how to mix color. Anyone can help.

Described as a paint-by-numbers-ish process, David will show you what to do where. Meet people interested in neighborhood improvement and lend support to one of the coolest things to hit Topeka in a while. Follow the Great Mural's progress here.

  • When: call Tom Benaka at 785/221-6400 if you'd like to help paint—there are still 750 feet left!
  • Who: anyone and everyone
  • Where: Great Topeka Mural Wall at 20th & Western

Hi Heather,
Do you know if they have completed the mural or still need “help”?

hey annette! sorry for taking so long to respond. the comment feed isn’t working so i just noticed your question.

tom benaka will know the answer to this. the mural has quite a long way to go. it’s being painted in sections, little vignettes about topeka. i noticed today they have the undercoating painted in (the brown stuff) on a new area. once the drawing is in place, i imagine they’ll be looking for fill-in help again. you should give him a call for sure.
