The Great Mural Wall of Topeka, when completed is expected to be the biggest Mural Wall in Topeka and perhaps the State of Kansas. The three-sided mural was first painted in 2007 — goes down Western (across from the Expocenter) and turns the corner on 20th and now Fillmore.
It has been about three (3) years since the Great Mural Wall of Topeka had seen a new project. Primarily because the Kansas Arts Commission was dismantled, funding has been hard to come by, the 900-foot, partially-completed wall in central Topeka honoring the cultural history and ongoing spirit of Topekans and their neighborhoods went void of fresh paint and new art.
Stay tuned I will stay on top of when they complete these latest two panels.
