A local Eugene artist brightens up downtown Eugene by using an alley wall and Shakespearean themes. Artist Hans d’Hollso has been working for several months on an expansive mural on the side of the new zone art gallery on W. Broadway in Eugene.

He calls the work the Lord-Leebrick-New Zone Art Gallery mural. D’Hollso hopes that by naming it after the two local art programs, it will draw attention to the Lord Leebrick theatre and the New Zone art gallery.

The Shakespearean themed mural is over 150 feet long and d’Hollso says its only 60 percent of the way done. Even after contributing 400 hours to the mural, he is still working. The Eugene community has had a very positive reaction to the mural. D’Hollso funds himself, but he has started a kickstarter.com account where anyone can log on and donate to the project.
