This three part design project was started in 2022 and finished in 2023 as a beautification effort to activate more art spaces in the 800 block alleys.  In collaboration with Owner Bryan Falk, three projects were combined into one on the back of the Falk Architect building.

The unique metalworks by artists Michael Bradley and Larry Peters join a collection of NOTO banners featuring work from local artists.  Various metal light pole banners can be found throughout the district.

The Three Sisters story exists in numerous Native American cultures and represents a symbiotic planting method of corns, beans and squash. These three plants support each other through their growth and life cycle, and support humans as well as a perfect nutritional trifecta.

This beautiful ‘Welcome to NOTO’ mural literally popped up overnight in NOTO. Two artists, Sara Myer and Jennifer Bohlander surprised the district when they collaborated with Compass Point to create this beautiful mural that welcomes patrons to the district as they exit off the Kansas Ave. bridge.

Created in 2021 by artists Jennifer Bohlander and Sara Myer, the Compass Point Mural is home to Dirty Girl Adventures, and represents all the adventures that happen within.

Just to the South of Great Overland Station on the BNSF Plaza sits a unique piece of art and engineering. Professionals from Promark Design, Schwert Design Group, Digginger Foundry, and Kelly Construction designed this sculpture and the surrounding plaza.

The Grassroots Crosswalk was completed in the fall of 2023 as a pilot project in the district. The crosswalk was created to include the NOTO colors and wave, and a variety of Kansas grasses were included to represent that the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District was a “grass-roots effort from the beginning”.

The 30 foot Mural is located inside of the Kaw Valley Bank at 1110 N. Kansas Ave. and was painted by John William Bashor in 1965. He painted the mural in his studio on a stretcher frame, from which it was then removed to be cemented onto a wooden panel for display in the bank. The mural covers 145 square feet and is painted on linen canvas.
