A GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign has been created recently to raise $2,000 to re-create a mural of Frankie Knuckles as a tribute to his legacy. The Godfather of House unfortunately passed away early last year due to medical complications, and his legacy continues to live on.
To commemorate and memorialize the legend, a group of graffiti artists and DJs created a mural on the Logan Square building in Chicago. Unfortunately, due to building renovations the mural has since been painted over. DJ Michael Tupak along with graffiti artist BboyB and Flash ABC, who worked on the first mural, are willing to recreate the Frankie Knuckles mural in a new location. They have two possible locations in mind, but believe that Rogers Park is to be the most promising.
It has been a little over a week since the campaign started, and they have raised half of the money needed so far. If there is any left over from the fund they plan on donating it to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.
