Wall Poems of Racine #1. Photo by Rene Amado
The first wall poem features an excerpt from Aaron Lundquist’s poem, We Are The Monsters. Laura Hauter created the design, which was painted on the south facade of the Great Lakes Warehousing building by Dean Tawwater of Tawwater Sign Company. It is located in the 1400 block of 16th Street.
Wall Poem #1 was realized with community partners Ask Me Why I Love Racine, Bonk! and the Racine Public Library. Funding came from the Racine Arts Council’s ArtSeed grant program, Circa Celeste Cafe, Rob Osborne and Vera Scekic. Tom Barnhill, owner of the Great Lakes Warehousing building, donated the wall space. Bob Yuhas of RPY Architecture generated the site elevation drawings.
