Henderson Artist Raises Funds for Public Mural

HENDERSON, Ky (August 10, 2020) Artist and Henderson native, Maddy Fritz, has partnered with local members of the community to plan an outdoor mural project. The mural site was provided by a unique collaboration between the building and business owners at Henderson Juice Co. in Henderson’s downtown central business district. The total cost of the mural materials and labor is to be entirely funded by public support. After a rapid outpouring of support, the Facebook fundraiser reached over $1,300 within the first 24 hours, exceeding the $1,000 benchmark goal. Anyone can still donate, any additional funds raised over the initial goal, “Will be put towards future murals,” Fritz says.

Ways to Support:

All proceeds and public support go towards creating a mural in Henderson, Kentucky. Supporters can choose any amount to donate online (donations can be made anonymously). Cover a quart of mural paint for the project, or opt to make an impactful gift by adopting a section of the mural. Donation options are listed in detail on the 2020 Mural Project donation page.
