Some of the imagery of the artwork will include: the Historic Litchfield Carnegie Building, the famous Route 66 Ariston Café, and Lake Lou Yaeger Recreational Area (amongst a couple other surprises).
“We are thrilled to be a part of this national series, and invite everyone to visit Litchfield, IL and enjoy this mural installation!” – Litchfield Tourism Coordinator, Sarah Waggoner states.
Mural artist, Victor Ving, and photographer, Lisa Beggs, are a couple on a cross-country road trip in their RV creating interactive murals that will become future landmarks. The ‘Greetings Tour’ seeks to create public art that will capture the pride of local residents for their hometowns and spark the interest of visitors and tourists. The two artists have been traveling select cities throughout the United States since April 2015 painting modern murals with spray paint inspired by vintage large-letter postcards. At each stop, Lisa’s photography and recommendations from locals will serve as reference for letters in the mural given back to the cities. Local artists and businesses will be invited to collaborate with their ideas.
