Downtown Corbin has launched the Underpass Mural Contest, hoping to transform the Roy Kidd Avenue Underpass with a fresh mural and make the area a place that people want to be. \u201cThe idea is to beautify downtown Corbin and make it a pleasant place to be,\u201d said Sky Marietta, a member of the contest team. \u201cResearch suggests murals reduce graffiti and people tend to have more reverence for the space. It\u2019s in a part of downtown where we are working to revitalize.\u201d Along with giving the underpass a facelift, Marietta and the contest overseers are excited to see the overall local talent. \u201cThe idea of the contest is to have a chance to see some of the great talent from artists in the area. Here\u2019s a chance to see some of the different ideas out there,\u201d continued Marietta. To enter, artists living in Knox, Laurel and Whitley counties must submit a sketch or painting of their proposed design along with a photo of previously completed mural work. There are two walls that will be painted on the underpass so the artist\u2019s design must take this into consideration. The winner of the contest will receive $3,000 plus materials needed to complete the mural. Artists can submit a design proposal, photos of previous projects and contact information to sky.marietta@uky.edu to enter the competition. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 30."}
