Three-Dimensional Murals

In order to bring transformational change and quality of life improvements to Appalachian Ohio, a more creative and out-of-the-box approach should occur that mimics success stories of other places while simultaneously highlighting the uniqueness of place which is found in the Appalachian Ohio region.


The HEART of Appalachian Ohio Project is therefore looking to create and install Three Dimensional Murals throughout Appalachian Ohio. These distinctive places will blend sculptures, landscapes, and the definitive stories of the people of Appalachian Ohio into transformative and unique place for people to visit and relax.


Studies illustrate the vital importance of public art in revitalization efforts and the shift in perception people have on the quality of place when art and nice landscapes are installed. By combining the public art, landscapes, and story telling approach of classic wall murals an interactive micro-park will be created that will attract visitors and residents.


The goal will be to utilize Appalachian Ohio sculptors, artists, and native plants indigenous to the Appalachian region to make these sites a reality. The Three-Dimensional Murals with their native landscapes will also serve as public garden sites on the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail.


The Three-Dimensional Murals will add to the beautification of streetscapes within the cities and villages of the region and help spur stewardship and revitalization in these areas.


Additionally, by having these features throughout the region it will create a trail unto itself that will draw visitors and residents all around the Appalachian Ohio region to see all the one-of a-kind Three-Dimensional Murals. Not only will they be an asset in improving the quality of life of the citizens of the region by connecting residents with the history of the region, but it will also attract tourist from outside the region.
