Greetings from Tallahassee

As part of the KCCI 2021 Community Catalyst project goal to create more public art, KCCI helped facilitate the creation of the new mural in the Market District. It was designed by a local student at Maclay School under the leadership of their teacher Sarah Painter and muralist Cosby Hayes.
The 2-story mural was sponsored by Award4U, Lawson & Lawson Electric, Betsy & Cory Couch, and The Market District Association. 
Through this project the students experienced real-life work skills (project planning, client relations, media relations). As many of the students commented: It is something they will never forget.
Come check it out – it might be your new backdrop for the perfect selfie.
