First Look! Long Street Cultural Wall Gets Public Preview

A bridge to history gets its first public viewing when draft artwork for the much-anticipatedLong Street Cultural Wall is presented to the Columbus Cultural Arts Commission tonight.The meeting is open to the public at:

6:00 PM109 North Front Street

First Floor Conference RoomDowntown Columbus

The Long Street Cultural Wall is being designed by Larry Winston Collins and KojoKamau, two home-grown artists selected by the public and a community-based advisorycommittee to create a work of public art on the south side of the new Long Street Bridge.The wall will artistically honor and celebrate the rich cultural history of the Bronzeville area(King-Lincoln and Discovery Districts), using a mixture of black and white photographsand photographs of linoleum-cut carvings. The mural will be displayed on 60, four ft. by eight ft. panels mounted on a 240-foot longconcrete wall. The wall will be subtly lit at night and only visible if travelling on Long Street,not from I-71 below.

The Long Street Bridge is a signature project because of the first of its kind cultural wall onone side of the bridge and public green space on the north side. The public space is beingbuilt to accommodate a commercial "cap", should a developer decide to construct futurebuildings on the bridge similar to the cap on North High Street in the Short North. The bridge and cultural wall are being designed to reconnect the two neighborhoodsseparated by I-71 when it was built in the sixties. Images on the wall will pay tribute tomany of the iconic people and places who have contributed to the strength and characterof the community. The cultural wall is expected to be unveiled in early November.
