Arts Council of Southeast Missouri – Newsletter Volume 3: Issue 32

Emily Priddy has worked with the arts in a variety of ways, including painting murals and photoshoots. Some examples of these are included in galleries on her online portfolio at emilypriddy.wordpress.com. One of these murals was painted this Spring all the way at the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The mural depicted a bunch of neon signs, previously used on Route 66 in Tucumcari, covering the inside of one of their garages. She plans to head back in October 2015 to complete a big neon Kokopelli mural at a souvenir shop.

Congratulations Emily, we can’t wait to see this once it has been officially painted!
