Vote held on mural at center of tensions between Bentonville City Council, biking group
BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The city of Bentonville discusses the future of a mural that's causing some criticism due to inconsistencies in the original plans.
The city council voted May 10 to authorize a resolution accepting the work called 'All Bikers Welcome,' removing any language that is not the artist's signature and adding signage that describes the work.
Bentonville mural facing criticism from city
The mural was painted by the group All Bikes Welcome. According to a statement from a city council member, the group ventured off the original artwork, which was approved by the public art committee, the parks and recreation committee and the city council.
The group said in May that it was frustrated due to a lack of communication between it and the city.
