(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – A new mural is in the works in downtown Lawrenceburg.
The mural, sponsored by the City of Lawrenceburg with assistance from the Indiana Destination Development Corporation – Indiana Public Art Activation Grant, is being created by artist Christian Dallas.
Dallas’ work will be a tribute to the Southeastern Indiana Musicians Hall of Fame (SEIMA) and will feature several musicians at various stages of life playing guitars, pianos, saxophones and more.
Some of the featured musicians are Lonnie Mack, Ralph Trotto, Jaime Johnson, Kristen Weber, Nelson Elliot and Jimmy Thomas.
Brian Debuler shared, “The Southeastern Indiana Musicians Association is very excited to partner with the City of Lawrenceburg in creating a brand-new mural downtown, focusing on our areas rich and diverse musical heritage. Southeastern Indiana has a long-standing history of music and musicians who have not only helped shape our community culturally through music but also some who have even went on to influence the culture of music around the world. It is the goal of our organization to recognize, honor and create awareness of these individuals in our SEIMA Hall of Fame as well as inspiring the future generations of entertainers and artists in our community.”
The mural is expected to be completed over the next several weeks at Lawrenceburg Civic Park.
