Video Story
As part of a Great Sauk State Trail video series we’re producing for Sauk County, we spent some time visiting with Melanie Tallmadge Sainz who is the Founding Director of the Little Eagle Arts Foundation in Wisconsin Dells, and some of the team working on the mural project which will be dedicated on October 4th, 2020. You can watch the video below.
The dedication will be held during this year’s Fermentation Fest, Art DTour. You can learn more over at the Little Eagle Arts Foundation – LEAF FB page.
