Description
Featuring area attractions and scenes of Clay County, rural life is celebrated in this postcard style mural. Agriculture, abundant wildlife, a public zoo, and education have been represented in striking realism by the artists. Several Clay Center hidden gems can also be found in this mural by those familiar with the area.
Installed in November 2020, this mural was the first to be completed by A Mural Movement. This original project generated excitement and community backing that has continued to spur on additional mural works in the area.
