hard work to make the mural possible. |
We have raised the funds to paint a 25 foot tall Hoagy Carmichael portrait on the back of the Readmore Building, with permission of the owners: Empire Title.  This portrait will greet every vistor entering Richmond from the south as it overlooks Highway 27, and remind everyone of Richmond's Starr-Gennett heritage. It also overlooks the crossroads of the National Road and the Underground Railway. Scheduled for completion by July 1, Randy Carmichael has agreed to appear and sing at the 'unveiling' on Saturday July 5th in Richmond, Indiana. The total cost to create this mural is $21,647 As of June 29, we have reached our goal! All funds received at this point will be used to create a mural of Duke Ellington on the Sanders Jewelry Building in Summer of 2009  To everyone who participated and helped bring Hoagy back to Richmond Thank You! If you would like to donate by check, mail to: Richmond Art Works P.O. Box 1503 Richmond, IN 47375 attn: Duke Ellington Mural Questions may be answered by calling Richmond Art Works 765-966-0249 or emailing jim@richmondartworks.com.
