Manhattan Housing Authority - Pottawatomie Court Ave

The Manhattan Housing Authority (MHA) is collaborating with local artist Mindy Allen of Mindy's Murals to transform the exterior of a storm shelter adjacent to the Pottawatomie Court playground. This project, supported by a Community Arts Grant, aims to depict scenes from Manhattan's early history, including representations of the Exoduster community south of the railroad tracks. The proposed designs feature a covered wagon, sunflower fields, and historical vignettes, enriching the cultural landscape.?

Mindy Allen, based in Junction City, Kansas, has been creating murals for over a decade. Her work spans various locations, including Junction City, Manhattan, and beyond, reflecting her dedication to community engagement through art. Many initiatives exemplify MHA's commitment to enhancing community spaces and preserving local history through public art.?
