“We are delighted with how the event continues to grow,” said Murielle Gaither, Executive Director of the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri. “This year, ‘Quill’ by Dan Perry went on permanent display on Broadway and student work has been incorporated into the corner of Sprigg and Broadway thanks to Broadway Prescription. We see great things happening in the realm of Public Art in this community and are grateful to our partners for their commitment.”
