Public Spaces
By installing a community mural in downtown Danville, the community beautified a local public space.

Project Results

Public art displays were long-prohibited in downtown Danville. The nonprofit Heart of Danville has supported more than 100 major renovation projects and it installed the community’s first mural. More than 1,000 residents provided feedback about what should be included in the mural designed by artist Andlee Rudloff. In September 2018, 205 people — ranging in age from 2- to 80-years-old — helped paint the mural.
