Torres August 5, 2005 Concept: Provide public art in the areas around uptown that are not normally seen directly from the main route (State St.). By placing art in various areas around the Uptown District, the public will be encouraged to Wander Westerville and seek not only the sights but also notice/participate in businesses on off streets as well as on the main street. The Public Art programs increase community pride, foster community partnerships, provides visitor attraction and is just plain fun by having the community at large become an intergral part of the whole event. The Uptown Mural Project 2004 completed in September 2004 gave the Uptown Area a large mural as a corner stone to this project. The concept is to provide not only murals but sculptural elements, functional and decorative to the Uptown Area. The two murals that we would like to complete this summer are at Westerville Automotive on East Main Street and the Westerville Grill on South State State. More info to follow.
