Other Public Art in Cuba, Missouri
Art attacks community! It's contagious!
By now everyone knows that Cuba is "Route 66 Mural City." Viva Cuba's outdoor mural project has been ballyhooed on TV and in magazines. But while the mural project was underway, the display of public art outside the project spread throughout the community. Art is everywhere. What started as a project by one organization is now a grassroots movement that seems contagious. Perhaps we take Cuba's art for granted, but for others who visit our town, it is an attraction.

What next?
Ten years ago people would have laughed at the idea that Cuba would become known for its art, murals, and sculpture. But today, like many ideas, once they gain momentum, anything can happen. A single mural in 2001 started a movement that seems to be contagious in nature.
