The Avenue of Murals Project was initiated in 2004 with the goal of adding quality public art to downtown Kansas City, Kansas, to bring people together, to educate ourselves about one another, and to involve local high school youth in arts programming. Under the guidance of professional artists-in-residence, eight outstanding murals were com-pleted and installed in a four-block long corridor along Minnesota Avenue. Each mural celebrates the history and culture of Kansas City, Kansas and the unique groups within the community. Over 30 creative and energetic high school students were involved in the four-year project.
This mural tour map is provided to encourage residents and visitors to walk or drive the tour and enjoy these tremendous examples of mural art and learn something new of the history and culture of our community.
