Six years ago this autumn, Lindsborg received the gift of this beautiful Swedish dancer mural on the exposed exterior brick wall on a property owned by Jim Prugh of Lindsborg Vacation Rentals.
Artists Chase Hunter and Whitney Kerr of Kansas City were in Lindsborg for the week, painting the mural using oil based paints and elbow grease to finish the bigger-than-life piece ahead of the 2019 Svensk Hyllningsfest. The effort is also part of a broader campaign to beautify buildings in the downtown area.
