PAVE THE WAY FOR COMMUNITY ART Buy a brick to keep Highland’s History Moving Forward The Highland Arts Council is proud of its Art Walk and the ways in which art has enhanced our city. We plan to expand the Art Walk and build Highland’s reputation to be the Arts Mecca of the Metro East as a Mural City. The National Endowment for the Arts has granted the Highland Arts Council a matching grant of $10,000. This is the second time that the NEA has shown confidence in HAC and its mission to bring art to the community. We are honored and thrilled. This grant will help bring renowned artists from St. Louis, Robert Fishbone and his daughter Liza, to paint a mural on the west wall of the Weinheimer Building. In addition, people from the community may paint a part of the wall under the artists’ directions to make it an interactive experience. The City Council and the Parks & Recreation Department are totally behind the decision and the State Historic Preservation Office has given its blessing. Now we need YOU to help make this a reality. We know that the Weinheimer Building was built to bring our community together, and it has done that since 1949 through the generosity of for28
ward thinkers within the city. Help us honor the building and memories made there and deepen its value through art on its wall. The HAC is extending an invitation to citizens, businesses and organizations from the community who see the value in creating beauty in our city. We encourage you to partner with us to develop a mural that will bring people into our community and expand the local economy. As a donor, you will share ownership of Highland’s newest community art. Now, YOU have the option to contribute by purchasing a brick or granite slab, which will include the name of the person you wish to honor or remember, your or your family’s name, your business’ or your organization’s name. These bricks will be laid in the space at the base of the Weinheimer’s west wall to commemorate every business, organization and/or person who knows the value of keeping art alive in our city. There is limited space so don’t delay. For a form, stop by the hospitality booth at Art in the Park. Remember: the Earth without ART is just E…H!!
