Mornings On Main The 4 P's of Murals
September 7, 2022
Join Missouri Main Street Connection on September 7, 2022, at 8:30am in Central Time (US and Canada) for another installment of the Mornings on Main webinar series. Historic districts across Missouri use murals to showcase their local history, liven up downtown with the arts, and be a draw for tourists to take cool selfies; but how did they make it happen? This Mornings on Main panel webinar will host several mural experts, along with Missouri Main Street Connection’s own Ben White, to discuss the four P’s of murals: Planning, Prepping, Painting, and Protecting. These four P’s will help those seeking direction on murals in their downtown. These works of art not only last for years but will be a big hit with the community and volunteers. Speaker Information: Jacob Duncan Jacob Duncan has been a freelance mural artist since 2010, combining innovative airbrush techniques with traditional media. Born and raised in Excelsior Springs Missouri, Jacob has branched out to complete mural projects throughout the Midwest and beyond.
