Nourishing Our Community, Findlay Market

Designer: Greta McLain

Public Art Gallery

Hamilton County partnered with ArtWorks to produce a mural that captures the history, progress, and enduring qualities of Cincinnati’s historic Findlay Market business hub and community.

A Call to Artists that yielded interest from 136 artists located across the globe, with community engagement facilitated at Findlay Market. The selected designer, Greta McLain from Minneapolis, MN, crafted a unique, site-specific design to celebrate the people and dynamic energy that have endured to make Findlay Market Ohio’s oldest continuously operated public market.

Teaching Artists Michael Thompson and Lydia Voss guided the apprentices on this project to develop a new landmark for the Findlay Market area that aims to represent the neighborhood and its residents while also welcoming visitors and tourists. “Nourishing Our Community, Findlay Market” is now a beacon to locals and visitors.
