Introduction

The Marshall Mural Project is a multi-year community effort to develop and implement visual imagery through three public arts murals in downtown Marshall. This project is intended to allow all interested members of the community to participate in ways that fit their abilities and interests.

The purpose of this project is to enhance public art in the community by working with the City of Marshall, businesses, organizations and community residents to develop a mural program that will provide for the funding, selection, creation and maintenance of up to three public art works. The City of Marshall has recognized and accepted responsibility for beautification of its public areas. This project will add greatly to the enhancement of the quality of life of Marshall’s citizens, attract tourism, and provide incentives to business to locate in the City, thereby expanding Marshall’s economic base.

In developing downtown Marshall as a vibrant and active center, funds will be raised to continue to expand the Arts and add to an Arts and Entertainment district within downtown area. We believe with the Arts Center and Studio 1 on Third Street that our community can build interest sites that will enhance visitation to our downtown, and celebrate our long and successful history through Art. This project aligns itself with our community’s understanding of the value of regional centers, a thriving college community and our strong interest in amateur athletics.

Marshall Area Fine Arts Council (MAFAC) has agreed to provide the leadership for this project.

There continue to be discussions among the city, county, and business community leaders about the quality of life of the community as it relates to the community's ability to attract/retain employees as well as new business/industry and development of Marshall as Midwest regional destination. MAFAC feels that its effort to develop and provide access to arts experiences to all members of the community is a major part of the quality of life equation in our community. Educational experiences of our young people, support of local artists, access to arts interest by community members, arts classes and experiences, and visibility of the arts in the community are important elements in any community and certainly bear a relationship to our ability to be a progressive and growing community.
