Wall Poems of Racine #6 features an excerpt from Linda Flashinski’s poem, The Arts. Andrea Mickelson created the design which was painted by Dean Tawwater of Tawwater Sign Company. Building owners Ed and Sharon Trudeau offered the wall, and Blue River CrossFit repaired and primed the wall in preparation for the wall poem. Wall Poem #6 is located on the west facade of 3801 Blue River Avenue.
This wall poem is supported by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional funding was received from the Osborne and Scekic Family Foundation.
