About 75 volunteers picked up paint cans and brushes to help a Chicago artist paint a mural on the side of the Veterans of Foreign War post in Frankfort. Mauricio Ramirez started the project Saturday and on Wednesday, with a little coaching and a lot of help, nearly finished it.
“You know, it’s not just me going in there and leaving, finishing and not really saying anything. I wanted to engage with the community, and by allowing people to kind of come in and actually help paint the mural with these little sectioned-off pieces, it shares just that more ownership of the mural.”
