Murals Bring Color and Life to Downtown Questa

  • Local Champion: Questa Creative Council
  • Date Funded: May 8, 2025
  • Grant Amount: $10,000

Many of Questa’s historic downtown buildings lack curb appeal, leading travelers to miss opportunities to stop and explore local businesses. Staff at the Questa Creative Council recognized this problem and saw a new opportunity to spur the local economy, so they reached out to LOR with a creative solution. LOR’s funding will help the Questa Creative Council hire local artists to paint murals on buildings throughout downtown Questa, transforming blank walls into colorful attractions that draw more visitors to local businesses.
