A portion of S.E. Quincy Street is becoming a yellow brick road thanks to two Topeka artists.

Sara Myer and Jennifer Bohlander are working on a "Wizard of Oz" mural at S.E. 7th and Quincy that is a project curated by the Kansas Ballet Company.

The mural, which is a collaboration with the ballet company and Capitol Federal, was funded through ArtsConnect’s TopArts grant program.

"Our city is filled with creative people of all ages," Kansas Ballet’s board of directors president Robin Wolgast said in a news release. "There is a lot of talent here and this mural is like a pop-up theater inviting anyone to be a star."

According to Myer, who worked on the mural Friday, the two local artists have been working on the piece for a few weeks.

Recently, the two have been taking turns working on it as a way to abide by social distancing measures.

Myer said the figures in the mural are more inclusive than how they are portrayed in the movie.

For example, the lion has dreadlocks and the scarecrow is a woman.

Space in the middle under the rainbow has been left open for passersby to pose as Dorothy.

The yellow brick also bleeds into the curb so that someone in a wheelchair can still pose for a photo, Myer said.
