Artists, historians and fans of Bob Ross are trying to bring his persona back to Muncie, where he made “The Joy of Painting,” one of the most popular programs on PBS.
Leaders of Minnetrista want to recreate his painting studio inside the historic L.L. Ball home.
They’re using a crowdfunding platform to raise $200,000 to create the “Bob Ross Experience.”
The money will be used to make repairs to the house and re-construction of the studio. If successful, the organization wants to raise an additional $150,000 to build a separate painting workshop.
