Publications
Michael and Jennifer Lude have been working in the community since 2016, to promote the arts, 18,000 square feet of murals, and marketplaces. These venues include Community of Hope, Ohki Alley, Art in the Alley and more. Between fundraisers, murals, and painting classes, they are busy at galleries and publications. What more is in store for this artistic duo?
