From an "oops" to an "oh, my!"
About a week ago, Arnold’s Bar & Grill shared a post on social media about their beloved Czarface mural created world famous street artist L’amour Supreme.
From Lemons to Lemonade
It was accidentally removed by DCI’s Graffiti Removal team.
But those lemons quickly turned to lemonade as 3CDC stepped in with a fix. And a great one, at that!
“3CDC stepped in and immediately agreed to commission him to put up a brand new bigger and better one in two weeks!” a spokesperson from Arnolds said. “Then L’amour decided he wanted to stay a full week to do several murals around town!”
“Maker's Mark stepped in to sponsor a bunch of events for him at Shake It Records and Earth To Kentucky! Then 16 Lots Brewing Company decided to brew a collaboration beer with him. It's gonna be an awesome week,” Arnold’s spokesperson continued.
But the good news doesn’t stop there.
Arnold’s is inviting the entire city to watch L’amour create these murals.

Last year L’amour was commissioned to create 50-foot mural in Over-the-Rhine for BLINK. He fell in love with the city and was trying to find a way to get back.
The new mural at Arnold’s offered that chance, which developed into the partership with with Maker’s Mark and some iconic businesses, including Arnold’s, to create a letter to the city.
L’amour plans a week-long show full of outdoor art, appearances, and entertainment, in partnership with Maker’s Mark, 3CDC, Arnold’s Bar and Grill, Shake It Records, 16 Lots Brewery, Earth to Kentucky Toy Store, and Otto’s printing.
