Citywide mural experience coming to Westerville this summer
Something new is taking shape across Westerville—transforming the city into a canvas.
As part of the America250 initiative, the City of Westerville, Visit Westerville, Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce, Otterbein University, Westerville Historical Society, and the Westerville Public Library & History Museum have come together to launch the America250 Westerville Mural Project, bringing 12 large-scale vinyl murals to locations throughout the city this summer.
Each mural highlights under-told stories rooted in Westerville’s history—from environmental landscapes and transportation to stories of leadership, creativity, and resilience—inviting visitors and residents to explore the community in a new way.
The project features eight diverse, Ohio-based artists, with all murals produced locally at The Maker Space inside The Point at Otterbein University—connecting the creative process directly back to the community.
Installation will take place throughout May and June, with an official kickoff on June 26 during Westerville’s Fourth Friday Festival, alongside the launch of the America250 Westerville Mural Trail—an interactive experience encouraging visitors to explore mural locations and engage with each story.
America250 will also be reflected in events throughout the year, including the upcoming Westerville Symphony’s Masterworks III – A Symphonic Celebration of America 250 (April), Taste of Westerville (May), and Field of Heroes (Memorial Day Weekend). A full list of events can be found on the America250 Westerville event calendar.
A new America250 Westerville Guide is also coming soon, offering a deeper look at the murals, themes, and America250 happenings and highlights across the community.
This project is made possible through support from the America 250-Ohio Commission, Ohio Arts Council, and The Westerville Fund.
