Norfolk muralist paints mural across Nebraska communities

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 18:32 · Archive

Norfolk artist Adam Boggs has completed approximately 30 murals across Nebraska in the past year, with his most recent work finished on Long Pine's auditorium, originally built in 1915 as a theatre. The mural incorporates shades of green, gold and red that mirror the changing autumn leaves of the Sandhills area.

Boggs worked as a graphic designer for about seven years while painting murals on the side before transitioning to mural work full time. This year alone, his projects have included murals in Plainview, Oakdale and at the Nebraska State Fair, though his work has also spread to Yankton, South Dakota.

Boggs said murals serve multiple purposes: 'Murals can create a landmark, which is great. Also, marketing opportunities for your town to get the word out about what your town has to offer for visitors.' His artistic talents run in the family; his uncle, Seth Boggs, is another prominent muralist in Nebraska.

Community leaders in Long Pine, a town of roughly 300 residents, say the public art installation has been years in development. The building, known locally as the Palace, has undergone steady renovations to serve as a community hub.
