We are still busy preparing for the Coca-cola ghost sign restoration project, and it is happening!

So far it seems most of you have voted for the option with moderate color enhancement and more defined but still maintaining the aged look.

If you haven’t voted, please tell us which one is your favorite. The voting is pinned on top of our page.

Thank you everyone for your input. We are looking forward to having this Coca-cola ghost sign restored in Worthington!

Here are some photos of all the completed murals done in Menomonie, WI last month. They look so amazing!!

What do you think about trying to get more murals done here in the City of Worthington, MN?
What buildings and locations should be considered?
What local businesses would be interested in taking part?
Who would want to host an artist, feed the workers, or help in anyway?

Next summer Cottage Grove, Oregon is the selected city, blessed to have the talented Walldogs come and transform their city too! Could we be a future location for them to consider??

It takes a village as one can see! We will start small with the Coca-Cola Mural and see what transpires through discussions, and community support. Memnomies economy is about to grow, as people do travel to see these wonderful communities imacted by the power of art!

Thank you to the artists who are making a difference one city at a time! YOU ROCK!!

In less than two weeks, over 200 artists will be in downtown Menomonie creating gorgeous, large-scale murals that tell our story. Check out the map to see where each mural will be painted.

You'll notice there are four located in Wilson Park; each of those murals will be painted on large metal panels in the park and installed on buildings after the event is complete.

Which mural are you most excited to watch come to life June 24th-28th?

Here's some more photos to enjoy. 😀

We enjoyed watching the Walldogs paint 15 murals the last couple days. What an amazing opportunity to take part in. They'll be painting into this weekend. If you have it open, I highly recommend a stop over to Menomonie, Wisconsin. You can see a community being transformed one brush stroke at a time!

So honored to have met so many amazing artists and great people from all over the place. 😊 Wish we could be there until Sunday but Artmobile duty calls.

Thank you all for sharing your time, expertise and talents! Well done Walldogs, and City of Menomonie! Forever grateful. ❤️

The Walldogs have begun the Murals in Menomonie Project! Yesterday walls were primed at 13 business locations. Each mural has a lead artist who coordinates their team. The projection of design and tracing of images began at dusk. We were excited to watch the Coca-Cola ghost sign project get off the ground!
