Artists wait in line for space at McDonald's
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, let-
ter, cheese, pickles, onions and an art
public
Nibbling on an Egg-McMuffin, a Tuesday-morning McDonald's customer would have found himself looking at a display of Roy's Creative Framing on the inside wall
Later in the afternoon, customers would have seen the same wall covered with art done by children in the Lawrence Parks and Recreation summer program.
Recreational summer. The wall gallery, established in 1974, has proved popular. Space on it is often booked a year ahead of time. The parks and
recreation department usually reserves the gallery a summer in advance, according to Bill Slaton, an instructor in the children's program.
It's really a great place to exhibit
their art, and the children said.
The kids like seeing their work,
and they love it.

The owners of McDonald's Restaurant, 901. W23rd St., are trying to improve their community relations and perk up dining areas
for their "eat-here" customers at the same time. This McDomenick appliance features local art danced by children in the studio.

The woman sponsoring the gallery is Bonita Garrett, Topeka, owner of three McDonald's restaurants in eastern Kansas. She said she established the gallery in an attempt to become more involved in the Lawrence community.
The wall, carpeted in beige, red and blue and set off by spotlights, provides a background for diverse exhibits of drawings, paintings, sculptures and art exhibitions-H clubs, KU art and photography students, area artists and Lawrence companies.
Garrett and her husband, James, receive no money for the display space. Exhibits may be sold to anyone.
'She does it simply as a good will gesture to the community,' Garett's secretary said.
Roy Tayler, who manages Roy's Creative Framing in the Malls Shopping Center, had a display in McDonald's early this month. He also liked his positive effect sales in his shop.
"I've received numerous comments from customers about the display," he said. "Ive received several responses."
The Garretts own McDonald's restaurants in Manhattan and Junction City. A different empathy is used in each city. A restaurant in Manhattan uses a garden emphasis, and includes tropical plants, chandeliers, fountains and a nine-foot tree. Junction City's McDonald's uses Macy's theme illustrations to illustrate a historical theme.
