Artist and school team up for Old West mural project
Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission approved a plan to paint a mural at the intersection of Alabama Street and Seventh Street near the Lawrence Community Nursery School. Local artist Dave Loewenstein will design and execute the piece, stemming from a yearlong idea of upgrading a bland concrete patch into a lively community spot in Old West Lawrence. Sam Zipper of the nursery school said the collaboration aims for “intersection repair” to energize the block and attract foot traffic.
