Your vote needed for Joplin mural design - KOAM TV 7

Updated June 29 at 5:40 PM CST:  Joplin city officials were at the city's rebuilt Cunningham Park today to unveil details of a special project called "Art in the Park."

For a $20 to $60 donation residents can share a photo of their choice that will be included in a collage mural on the Cunningham Pool house.

A "ghost" art image will be put over that collage.  That ghost art image is being done by students in MSSU's graphic design program.

"This is just a great gathering place - as great as the pool is now, with all of the fun stuff they've got going on, we knew that this would be a highly visible area," says Cameo Gerdes of the Joplin Cultural Affairs Committee.

Residents are asked to vote on one of the designs.
