Our first monthly Chamber Business Breakfast series on March 13 featured the Granite Area Arts Council's president, Tamara Isfeld and Ashley Hanson from Public Transformation.  Both explained the importance of public art as an economic development tool.  The Riverside Voices mural project will continue this summer along the flood wall.  The City artist in residency program has been approved by the city council.  After the breakfast, Tom Cherveney from the West Central Tribune interviewed Ashley Hanson about the project.  Here is a link to the article from March 18.  http://www.wctrib.com/news/government-and-politics/4419479-looking-artists-take-city-hall
