Saturday, October 18, 2025 @ 4:00 PMA second Audubon Mural Project is coming to downtown Alton thanks to a collaboration with Alton Main Street, local businessman Mike Kelly, mural artist Robert Fishbone, and Center Advisory Board members Penny Schmidt and Susan Flader. The new mural will focus on bird conservation across the Americas with a spotlight on the Lesser Yellowlegs, a long-distant migrant that winters in South America and nests in northern Canada finding habitat across the U.S. including the St. Louis Region during its migratory journeys. The new mural is a few doors down from the Alton Flyway Mural that was installed in 2023. Together, both murals will raise awareness for needed bird conservation while further beautifying Alton!
Join us October 18th at the Lesser Yellowlegs Mural located at 224 Front St. Alton, IL. We will have a special unveiling celebration at 4pm, including site specific choreography by Erin Lane. Afterwards, all are welcome for a reception at My Just Desserts, 31 E Broadway.
This is a free event, but advance registration is requested so we can prepare for the event and reception. We hope you are able to join!
