This mural was painted on the Family Resources Parental Stress Center building in East Liberty. They wanted their Sprout Fund mural to show a family friendly community. Artist Brian Brown decided to include local community members in the mural to help do that. He photographed dozens of people of various ages and backgrounds and used the photos to create a bond between the mural and the residents.

When we stopped by this mural a second time we found some other artists helping to put finishing touches on it, but they declined to take credit for their work. They explained that it was Brian’s design and that he had done all the residents’ images and most of the mural. They were just making some adjustments to the background work. If you happened to have seen the mural before they did that, you may notice the subtle changes now.
