Kindred Mural
The Kindred Community Mural is installed and ready for years of enjoyment! Artist Eric A. Johnson surveyed the community and came up with a design that honors the past and shows the future of our city is as big as the endless blue sky!
A plaque will be mounted on the building with a QR code helping people learn about the mural and what each image represents along with the names of our Business Sponsors and their history/story preserved in this mural for our town.
Thank you to all for your support of this exciting creation and installation of community artwork on Elm Street in Kindred.
