Congratulations to Christopher Sabol and Lauren Cox for having their murals selected to be displayed inside the local McDonald’s restaurants at 6400 Greenwood Rd and 2209 Taylorsville Rd in Louisville.

Chris Sabol is a student at Pleasure Ridge Park High School and Lauren Cox is a student at Atherton High School. Their murals are part of a local Owner/Operators Nagendra Jella’s McDonald’s Mural Program.

The art classes at Pleasure Ridge Park High School and Atherton High School were challenged to create artwork that blends the nostalgia of McDonald’s with their unique interpretation of Louisville, showcasing their personal connection to the city.

In recognition of their artistic achievement, each student will receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Jella organization. Additionally, the art departments at both schools will receive $500 grants to support future creative endeavors.

Both JCPS students will now have their artwork displayed inside local McDonald’s Restaurants. Chris’s artwork, which pays homage to Louisville’s Lowrider culture mixed with McDonald’s nostaligia, will be installed at the McDonald’s on Greenwood Road and remain on view for the next year. Lauren’s work will be installed at the Taylorsville Road location.

The competition is part of McDonald’s “A Celebration of Culture and Community.” The initiative honors student creativity and community pride.
