Re: LIT proposes music mural
I agree. Anyhow looks like no one posted the JR article so I'll manually retype it since I don't have online JR access. There is a rendering so someone please post it!! It's May 10th, 2007 issue.
Mural proposed in Bricktown
by Kelly Chambers
Journal Record
Oklahoma City- The LiT Lounge in Bricktown may soon get a face-lift in the form of a mural on its west side depicting the faces of music celebrities with Oklahoma roots.
On Wednesday the Bricktown Urban Design committee looked at a rendering of the proposed mural to get an idea of the famous faces the owners of the bar hope will grace one of its exterior walls.
Some members of the committee, however, said they would like a review by the Oklahoma City Arts Commission before any paint is slapped on the wall.
Committee members said they would like several deserving musicians represented. The Oklahoma City based Flaming Lips, depicted in the rendering, would likely be a shoe-in since the bar backs up to Flaming Lips Alley.
Others depicted in the rendering by Oklahoma City artist J.R. Feuerborn included Bob Wills, Woody Guthrie, and Charlie Christian.
Other suggestions included adding country singers Vince Gill and Carrie Underwood.
The committee approved a two-month continuance to give the Arts Commission time to review the matter and for the bar owners to secure licensing rights to use the musicians' likenesses.
