Women's Mural to begin this spring

An exciting announcement from the Great Mural Wall of Topeka...

A new mural about the accomplishments, challenges, hopes and dreams of women in Kansas will be painted on the Great Mural Wall in the spring of 2014.  The mural will be located at the corner of 20th & Fillmore (see photo of the location below).
