American Legion Post Building Becomes Public Art

The American Legion Post Building in Waitsburg recently became a conceptual art piece overnight when painted as a black and white image of a flag.

The painting of the American flag was intended to honor the military while provoking thought about the future - it was commissioned by owner, Charles Smith. Smith is the owner of K Vintners in Walla Walla and is known for his whimsical black and white wine labels.

This new addition to Waitsburg has garnered its share of controversy amongst the townfolk, but as a public art piece and expression of free speech I think it is worth experiencing.
