Celebrating community creation: The Cloverport Mural Project // Artists Respond Guest Blog

The following guest blog is from Artists Respond microgrant recipient River’s Edge Art Gallery in Cloverport, KY. Learn more about this project at kyrux.org/microgrants/2024, and connect with the gallery on Facebook.

In this video, meet the team behind the Cloverport Mural Project, which received a RUX Artists Respond microgrant in 2024. Watch the mural unfold as community members of all ages contribute & reflect on their town.

“[The mural] will bring back memories more than anything else to all of us that are now older, and I think that will refresh our memories and will be there for our grandkids to enjoy also.”

“We love this little community and want to see it beautiful and thriving and we’re ready to do some work!”

“I feel like it has really brought the community together and I hope it continues to do so.”
