Feature:

The arts community is suffering very difficult times in this economic crunch. The "If we don’t support artists, there will be no art" mural project was a call to artist in the community to design an image to jolt the conscious of our city to increase their support for the art community or soon there might not be any art to apprecaite. Now is the time when innovation and creativity are most needed and supporting art initiatives is a major step in the right direction.
