Muralists coming to Butler

Walls of downtown Butler soon will be brightened with paintings of area landmarks, including, above, the 16-foot-by-8-foot horse-drawn mail delivery mural on Natili North and, below, the 14-foot-by-16-foot Armco Steel mural on The Butler Eagle.

The Walldogs, a group of muralists from around the world, are coming to Butler July 27 to 31 to paint 10 murals on downtown buildings.

The murals will represent landmarks and icons from the city's past and will be on walls on businesses, an apartment building and a parking garage.

Here are two more of the murals that are planned. Other murals will be published in the Eagle before July 27.

The Walldogs are being brought to the city by the Butler County Historical Society.

To volunteer or for information about this project, visit www.butlerwalldogs.com or call the historical society at 724-283-8116.
