If turnout for the latest community mural project in downtown Emporia is any indication, the city is quickly becoming a destination for artists around the area. At least, that’s the hope of local painters and owners of A&A signs Alex and Andrea Polzin who facilitated the paint-by-the-numbers mural at Trolly House Distillery as part of Emporia’s latest First Friday Art Walk Friday evening. The mural encompassed much of what makes up Emporia from depictions of the Flint Hills to a space dedicated to local veterans. The mural was separated into sections and local residents all had the opportunity to paint said sections giving what Polzin hopes is a sense of community ownership over the project.
