FAIRMONT Downtown Fairmont will soon see some more color. The Red Rock Center for the Arts is launching a public mural project.
The project is something director Sonja Fortune said she’s been wanting to do for many years.
“There was grant money available to slide this project in, so I decided that it was time to make it happen,” Fortune said.
The Red Rock Center was eligible for a $15,000 grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board this year due to Covid.
“It’s helping to keep us going through these difficult times,” Fortune said.
Some of the money is going toward free concerts in the park this summer, hiring art instructors for education classes, making updates to the art room and the mural project.
