🎨 Our walls are full of hometown talent! 🚂❤️

We are excited to showcase the beautiful paintings created during Brushes on Main, hosted by Main Street Ozark and led by the incredibly talented local artist, Dena Turner!

Each participant painted their own interpretation of our beloved Ozark Area Depot Museum, and now their artwork is proudly on display inside the museum for the next two weeks.

If you're in downtown Ozark, stop by and take a look at these wonderful creations. It's a great opportunity to support local artists, celebrate our community's creativity, and see our historic depot through many different perspectives.

A huge thank you to Dena Turner for sharing her talent and to everyone who participated in making this event such a success. We hope you'll come visit the museum and enjoy this special community exhibit!
