Four large oil-painted murals from Bank of the West have been donated to the Barton Community College Foundation. The murals by artist Pat Potucek were moved to the college’s Shafer Gallery on Wednesday.Site Manager for the Great Bend branch Sara Seller said the decision was made to donate the pieces instead of trying to sell them so local residents could continue to enjoy them.“We wanted to give back to the community because that is very important to us here at Bank of the West,” she said. “Barton is very active in the community and we knew that they would be preserved and displayed properly for the community to enjoy.”The murals were painted by Potucek in 1974 as an act of charity to be displayed in the “Prairie Room,” which was a room available to the community for holding events.
