A PAOLI COMMUNITY MURAL PROJECT
WITH MURALIST ADAM LONG
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We're bringing the east wall to life at Lost River Co-op & Cafe with a bold, community-designed mural led by local artist Adam Long. The design will feature a buffalo in honor of the historic Buffalo Trace, and elements shaped by input from neighbors, youth, and community members.
This is more than a mural, it’s a symbol of who we are. Through conversations and public input, we’re shaping a mural that reflects the values, voices, and identity of our neighborhood. This is your wall. Let’s paint it together!
