Governor Laura Kelly announced today that 37 murals were completed in 14 Kansas communities in 2022 through the Office of Rural Prosperity’s (ORP) Rural Mural and Public Art Grant Programming. These grants helped communities with fewer than 10,000 residents create murals and public art projects to beautify public gathering spaces and offer new tourist attractions. “These murals celebrate the beauty of Kansas and highlight everything our small towns have to offer,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “As our Rural Mural program continues to grow, I look forward to seeing how it showcases each community’s individuality and contributions to our state.” The maximum amount of each grant was $10,000. Awardees were also required to provide a 1:1 match. A total of $93,500 was awarded last year.
