ON THE WINGS OF BUTTERFLIES

Spread your wings and fly! Stand in front of the colorful wings of this larger-than-life butterfly and extend your arms out wide for an incredible photo-op. This 10-foot-tall, 20-foot-wide mural is located on the site where St. John’s Hospital once stood. The hospital was destroyed in the May 2011 tornado, and the land is now used as a public space known as Mercy Park. The butterfly mural represents the transformation of our city and the hope for a beautiful future. The artists who created the mural are A.J. and Jordan Wood of Mythic Art & Mural; it was manufactured and installed by Whitehill Enterprises, LLC.

TOGETHER WE CREATE

Together We Create, was designed during two weekend workshops hosted by Art Feeds. More than 50 participating children brainstormed, drew, and painted while learning to cooperate with each other and harness their creativity to help improve their community. The children’s designs were then compiled into one cohesive mural, which was placed on the back of Mercy Park’s existing On the Wings of Butterflies mural.
Artist(s): Art Feeds
Date Completed: May 2018
