The
Prescott Downtown Mural Project unveiled its first community art project on September 14th and 15th, 2007, the
"Art for All" mural, located at 109.5 Sth. Granite St.. Painted by Prescott
artists R.E. Wall and Margaret Dewar, this 1400 sq. ft. mural boldly portrays
Prescott's dynamic heritage. Focusing on the role of the arts over the past 150
years, the mural illustrates Prescott's pioneer tradition, the rich theater
history, the accomplishments of cowboy artists, and the contributions of the
arts in present day Prescott. Behind the Historic Whisky Row Alley, the mural
complete with a gem studded mosaic by Mary Schulte, takes one back in time to wild western
vaudeville, brings to life the songs of the lovesick cowboy, and highlights
some of Prescott's oldest traditions, the 4th of July parade and a
lively square dancing celebration. In a growing arts destination, the "Art for
All!" mural welcomes visitors to sample Prescott's heritage and living
culture.
