The George Kieffer Mural Hall

We are patiently waiting to have our three beloved George Kieffer murals professionally restored. Recently uncoverd and on display behind glass in the historic Fox Theatre mural hall.

Painted in 1949 to commemorate the reopening of the Fox after it was destroyed by fire, the murals depict the Stone Chapel on the Drury University campus, the Battle of Wilson's Creek, and the administration building at Missouri State University.

The murals have begun to show some wear and tear, nearly 72 years after they were painted. Restoration will ensure that visitors will continue to enjoy the murals for years to come and reminisce about going to the movies at the Fox Theatre in days gone by. Help us by donating to our Community Foundation of the Ozarks Fine Arts Endowment Fund.
