E. Washington St. Alley Murals
The alley murals were a project collaboration between Mainstreet Shelbyville and BRCF. The project was funded by a grant from Indiana Arts Commission, a donation made by the Indiana Grand Casino, and BRCF funds. The alley is intended to look like a hallway in a historical home, with murals on the walls, chandeliers hung from above, and benches to sit on.

Artist: Greg Potter
Growing up, Greg would often visit his grandparents’ farm in Morgan County during his summer vacation from school. It was on the farm, at a young age, that he found a love for art and animals. He joined the military after high school and served more than 20 years. After serving, he decided to pursue his passion for art and took a few art classes at Franklin College. It was around this time that he began to display and showcase his art pieces. Greg gets his inspiration for his art through conversations with people, especially family and friends. In recent years, Greg has done several murals and works in the Shelbyville and Franklin communities. Most recently, Greg was selected to be the artist for The Alley project.
