Resident updates: first public mural finished; organizers push for more murals in Old Webster
Summary
A community member reported the group's first mural is complete and urged property owners in Old Webster to make wall space available, saying the mural could be a 'tipping point' for more public art in Webster Groves.
A community participant (speaker 2) told members the group's first foray into public art — a mural painted on paper and installed in Old Webster — is complete and encouraged property owners to permit additional murals across downtown.
"The painting's basically done now. So the mural's done," the speaker said, adding that the project was inspired by other local graphics and could persuade building owners, including a named owner, to free up wall space for future pieces. The speaker stressed Webster Groves has music, theater and fine arts but relatively little public art and described the mural as a starting point to build momentum.
Members asked about next steps and coordination; the speaker said they are looking for a second and third mural and requested contact details and possible locations. The group discussed publicity and inclusion in the July newsletter so the project could attract volunteers, sponsors and additional building owners.
