It all takes place right before the Christmas lighting ceremony in Downtown Mansfield, on Friday, Dec. 6.
The “Driving Mansfield Skyline” mural is a celebration of Mansfield’s iconic architecture and features a luminous day-to-night skyline.
The 12′ x 50′ artwork, hand-painted by a team of local artists led by Luke Beekman, captures the heart of downtown Mansfield in a grand and magical way.
“This mural is a love letter to Mansfield,” said Beekman, the artist behind the design. “It’s a reflection of our city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and bright future.”
The mural dedication ceremony will feature light food and drinks, including hot cider and donuts. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the artists and learn about the inspiration behind the artwork.
The event will culminate with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. and a special mural lighting at 5 p.m.
The hand-painted mural was designed by local artist and nonprofit director, Luke Beekman of Mankind Murals Inc., and was accomplished with a team of artists, including muralist Robin Shoup-Wilson, Brandon Penny, Natasha Moretti, with features such as striping and a local community branding mural with painters Jason Mott and Ashley Keppel from Mankind Painting.
The project is part of the Mansfield Rising Plan and the RCDG Mansfield Arts and Culture Sector’s “Public Art Initiative” where matching funds through the Richland County Foundation were available for public art projects in Downtown Mansfield.
