Painting the community
The Sylvania Arts Commission (SCAC) wants to know: “What does community mean to you?” Artists who are interested in illustrating their answer are encouraged to submit up to three mural designs to the SCAC before June 20. The selected design will be installed in August onto a 92’x20’ wall space— located at 5658 N. Main St. (best viewed in the J&G’s Pizza Palace parking lot)— to illustrate the importance of community. The winner will also receive a $2,000 prize upon completion of the installation during a dedication ceremony in September.
