It’s been an incredible journey bringing this mural to life, but what truly made it special was the amazing support from our volunteers and neighbors. Your enthusiasm and willingness to roll up your sleeves and contribute made all the difference.

 

Funded by the FY24 Metro Arts Thrive Award, this project transforms the iconic gateway to the neighborhood while celebrating the unique character of Sylvan Heights. Local artist Stephen Sloan, owner of Never Xtinct and a former Sylvan Heights resident, brings his exceptional talents as a professional muralist and illustrator to this project, working alongside his wife and creative partner, Alex Sloan. Together, they have created a mural that beautifully weaves elements of the neighborhood’s identity and history.
