From 0 murals to 25 murals in 2 years seems like an impossible task, but that is exactly what they've done in Clay Center Kansas. Today I'm talking with Brett Hubka who has been spearheading the effort.  I'm no art expert, but I feel like I've noticed a resurgence of murals in towns across the country and it is a welcome trend. Coming into a new town, looking at the murals on the downtown buildings give you a sense of the history of the town, the things that are important, and an overall sense of what the town is like.  Over the years, we've interviewed or highlighted artists across the state, and it is really a testament to the people of Kansas that we have such a rich art tradition in our state.  So, this episode is about art, and about how a town can come together to accomplish something amazing in as little as 2 years. It is also about how much pride Kansans have in our state and how much life is being lived in our smaller rural communities.
