MAKING PROGRESS. ColorBlock is making a splash in downtown Eau Claire with its second annual mural project. This year’s theme – “Progress” – aligns with ColorBlock’s goal to “inspire visual arts” as well as “revitalize and re-energize parts of downtown that need some love,” according to its website.
Slated muralists include:
Alexis Olson – “Pride”
Chanel Harwick – “Racoon on a Hot Brick Wall”
Caitlyn Kviz – “Share Your Umbrella”
Lillian Hoeschen – "untitled" (hands design)
Jaden Flores – “Facing Face”
Amy Hahn and Trisha Lundin – “Hope is Where the Art Is”
“We want to provide a prompt that is relevant and thought-provoking,” said organizer Kelsey Wenberg, “and open enough to encourage many different interpretations and artistic styles.”
