BILLINGS - Our local Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) will soon have a new feature on Monad Road, showcasing some colorful, furry faces.
The plain brick wall and barbed wire fence outside the shelter wasn t very inviting. But now, a new mural is bringing it to life.
YVAS called upon local artists, in hopes of getting a fresh, new look for their boring, gray wall. After looking through numerous submissions in their contest, Wayne Small, the Boys & Girls Club Ranch art teacher, was chosen to put his painting on a larger canvas.
Small says, with help from his students, he got the wall prepped and ready for some vibrant colors in June and started painting the mural on Tuesday, July 20.
