Art For All Mural

                                west_afa_mural.jpg

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.

Granite Creek Mural

granite-creek1.jpg In the spring of 2001, Beth Newman of the Living Folklore along with designer R.E.Wall, Sharlot Hall Museum, the City Council, Yavapai Tribe, PAAHC, Open Space Alliance, Prescott Creeks Preservation, and a small handful of dedicated at-risk children from Mile High Middle School embarked on an ambitious mission to unravel the history of the Granite Creek watershed in the center of town. $6,000 was raised through grants, public, and private donations bringing nearly 20 organizations together and over 100 volunteers in the course of one month painting. The children went door to door throughout the Yavapai reservation looking for the oral stories of those who have always lived with this beautiful little creek. They also meticulously researched through the Sharlot Hall Archives until they had finally discovered more than just gold in the Granite Creek.They found a living history, which continues into this very day. It was an Incredible Success!
