Before beginning the KCK Mural Project, Joe Faus and Alisha Gambino worked under the direction of fellow muralist Jesús Ortiz to create the epic Anthology of Argentine mural. This Thursday, as part of 2008 Summer Reading, our Argentine Branch library is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the mural.
Details from Argentine staff:
Thursday, June 12th, 6:30 p.m., Argentine Library (2800 Metropolitan Avenue)
The Argentine mural was created under a team of artists directed by Jesús Ortiz. The mural, called Anthology of Argentine, is thirty feet tall and more than 200 yards long. It depicts the history of the Argentine area from the days of the Hopewells, the earliest known inhabitants, to our own day and beyond. The mural is located at 30th Street and Metropolitan Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. You and your family are invited to this free event. Snacks will be provided. For more information call (913) 722-7400.
