A 2nd Mural Being Painted in Mauston - Diane Dahl

Another Mauston Mural

Thanks to an art grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board, the National Endowment for the Arts, and funds from the City of Mauston a mural will be painted by Diane Dahl on the Ballentine Building in Mauston.

The mural will be directly across the street from a mural painted last year by Dahl. The theme centers on the history of Juneau County, the land and its agriculture.

You can be a part of the mural in several different ways.

1. SUGGEST historic or current people to be included in the mural, people who have made a difference or influenced Juneau County. The figures will be painted in the windows of the now Carpets to Go building.
2. VOLUNTEER TO PAINT. Students, citizens, children are welcome to come and add their mark to the mural.

Call or write Diane Dahl at 608-547-9709 or dldahl@mchsi.com.

The proposed design has been approved by the Planning Commission. Work will begin immediately.

Dahl, a Mauston resident, graduated from UW-Milwaukee with degrees in both Business and Fine Art. She has been doing murals in our area for over 15 years.

Last year this mural was painted:

Light in the Dark found at Mauston Farmers' Market - Abigail Fleming

On Saturday mornings you will find  Abigail Fleming doing what she loves to do - creating art that not only focuses on the beauty found in  nature but also the beauty in taking discarded pieces representing the past and giving them a chance to tell a new story.


Abigail shares her visions, and her pieces at local farmers' markets in Juneau County - including the one held every Saturday morning in downtown Mauston - the place she calls home. 

The Arts...

 The arts within any given community represents the heart of a community - their culture,  their experiences and what they value. Whether it is a painting, a song, or the words written by a writer - the  expression shared is often one that is remembered. 

Whether the art you see is in the inner city or on the wall in a rural community - if you look long and allow your imagination to open up you will hear the story the artist intended for you to hear.
