As part of the Vibrant Neighborhoods Grant Program, artist Kristen Vohs was selected to create a mural on the

Residents of the Maple Hill Neighborhood and other community members assisted in painting the mural as an opportunity to see how large scale murals are created.This project is a collaboration between the City of Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program and Neighborhood Services Department, the Maple Hill HOA, and Fort Collins artist Kristen Vohs.
