The chosen artists for each wall will be painting during the month of May.
Kendall Whittier Walls, presented by Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, is a collaboration aiming to create vibrant places, attractive destinations, and civic pride through public art in Kendall Whittier. The program is in the process of funding the creation of five murals throughout the Kendall Whittier neighborhood through a competitive grant process. Monday morning, the initiative took another step forward as the program announced the wall locations and assigned artist to each location. The artists were selected during a pre-qualified selection process in March. The wall locations and corresponding artists are as follows:
- Ziegler Wall (6 N. Lewis Ave.) – John Hammer of Claremore, OK – www.thehammerstudio.com
