Art, It's A Good Thing.

picture by Kathryn Usher

Artists and art lovers please show your support to local artist Pamela Raintree.  She recently painted a mural on a friends fence as part of her independent studies course at LSUS in Public Art. The artwork is family friendly and beautifully done. There are murals all over this town on private and public property. Art enhances our community and public art creates interest and appreciation of our town.  This may seem small to you now, but it could become a very huge issue for the art community. Please support Pamela and all local artist!  

The mural is at Highland and Elmwood.

See Kathryn Usher's video of the mural  HERE

Kathryn Says:

"This is the update Pam posted on her Facebook page on Monday April 5, 2010 concerning the controversy ' MURAL UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Monty Walford. He has referred complaints to the City Attorney for an assessment of mural painting legalities. This COULD impact all muralists in Shreveport's jurisdiction.'

"Monty Walford is the council person for District B in Shreveport. How to contact him to tell him you support Pam's mural. I would think this also falls under the rights of a property owner to choose colors and decorations for their property. www.ci.shreveport.la.us/Dept/council/distb.htm"
