Monroe, LA - June 14, 2024 – The Monroe Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the unveiling of a beautiful new mural at the Monroe Regional Airport. This piece is part of the "Beautiful Day" Campaign, a grassroots movement from the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. The campaign aims to combat apathy and promote the vibrant, positive community spirit of the Monroe area.
The mural, created by Amanda Chenevert, the Creative Director at Kinetix—a local marketing and IT service provider and proud member & partner of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce—captures the essence of Monroe's spirit. Chenevert shared her vision for the project, saying, "Monroe is so vibrant, youthful, and art-forward, and we wanted a piece that emulated that. With such diverse offerings in art, education, history, industry, and more, weaving each of these pieces together in one mural really showcases the incredible depth of this growing community. Each of these little illustrations was hand-drawn with love, and we want this piece to be fun and engaging for visitors!"
The mural highlights key elements of the community that residents can take pride in, including Monroe's rich history, higher education institutions, and unique offerings that set the city apart. The project underscores the importance of unity among local leaders, educators, and the business community in fostering an environment where Monroe can thrive.
The Monroe Chamber of Commerce encourages residents to check out the “It’s a Beautiful Day!” mural, be sure to snap a picture in front of it and share on social media using #MonroeMural the next time they fly Monroe!
