LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Healing Walls Project and Kroger teamed up to give west Louisville a piece of public art. 

The mural will be just over 3,000 square feet and will be the largest mural in west Louisville.

Lead artist Ashley Cathey worked directly with the community and Kroger customers for feedback on what should be in the mural. 

"Art can heal. Art can speak when you can't and this is our gift to our community and our way of speaking and amplifying our voices through creating," Cathey said.
