More than 100 artists are painting Black Lives Matter murals on boarded-up windows in Fort Wayne, Indiana

A public art organization called Art This Way helped connect the artists with business owners, who will get to keep the art on their property. After that happened, Smith was one of 100 local artists who came armed with paintbrushes to help. And now, almost every piece of plywood downtown has been transformed into murals with messages.

Theoplis Smith III, aka Phresh Laundry, is one of 100 artists commissioned to paint murals in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana."You see a conversation between two people that are not alike," Smith said. "One person has a smaller cup in his hand, but we're sitting on a bigger cup of the other person's issues. And it's more so an invitation to say, 'Hey, I want to swap life with you. I want to understand you more and I want to grow with you together.

"We have relationships with the businesses here in town, and this is obviously private property still," the group's manager and cofounder, Alexandra Hall, told Business Insider Today. "So it was something to have artists approach them all day long and ask for permission. But as an organization, we really were able to make that happen more easily and facilitate, and also provide stipends for the artists.
