New Art Brightens Storm Drains

MEDFORD, Ore. – Downtown Medford got a bit more colorful as local artists Amy Burkinshaw and Chris Hurley painted murals on two storm drains.

The city says it’s all to remind us that the storm drain leads to Bear Creek and the Rogue River. You can find the new murals at South Holly Street and at West Eighth Street.

The city is also saying thanks to the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians for helping make the project happen. The tribe’s ancestral homelands are at the Cascade and Coast ranges in the Umpqua and Rogue watersheds.
