The 10-year-old mural will get a fresh coat of paint during the Springfield Block Party on Friday, Sept. 5.
The original artists of the Ken Kesey mural in downtown Springfield will refresh the painting during the Block Party on Friday, Sept. 5, the city said.
Old City Artists completed the two-story mural 10 years ago. It is on the east wall of the Odd Fellows Building, which houses Plank Town Brewing.
The artists will apply a fresh coat of paint during the sixth annual Springfield Block Party. Final paint touches will happen live during the party, which takes place on Main Street between Pioneer Parkway East and Seventh Street, according to the city.
The Block Party starts at 4 p.m. The city will have a booth near the mural and a chance to win Kesey swag, including T-shirts, stickers and temporary tattoos.
Ben Wilkinson, organizer of the Block Party, told Lookout Eugene-Springfield that Kesey’s son Zane Kesey will attend the event with the iconic Furthur bus owned by Kesey.
Ken Kesey, known for writing “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Sometimes a Great Notion,” graduated from Springfield High School. The mural depicts Kesey leaning against a bookcase with a Springfield High School pennant at the top.
