the art tunnel

The  Art  Tunnel  Project  and  Designs  by:  Mike  Madden,  Rebecca  DeCowsky,  Sister  Anye,  Colleen  Johnston  

Location    This  mural  will  be  located  in  the  tunnel  between  downtown  Greensburg  and  Seton  Hill  University  on  College  Ave.      The  location  will  serve  two  purposes:        1.)  Beautifying  a  current  standing  structure  and  creating  astatic  appeal  in  the  Greensburg  Area    2.)  The  location  between  the  Heart  of  Downtown  Greensburg  and  Seton  Hill  University  will  help  tourist  and  student  appeal  to  Seton  Hill  and  the  surrounding  Greensburg  area.  This  will  increase  revenue  by  promoting  tourism  and  boosting  student  enrollment.    

As  downtown  Greensburg  prepares  for  the  future  it  must  not  forget  the  past.  Merging  the  tunnel,  which  was  created  in  the  past,  with  the  modernity  of  a  

stylized  mural,  which  will  bring  together  both  the  community  of  Greensburg  with  the  community  of  Seton  Hill  University.  

 Enhancing  the  beauty  of  down  town  Greensburg  with  a  simple  coat  of  paint.  

 Beautifying  a  monument  of  the  past  by  createing  a  modern  day  murel.  

IMPACT  This  piece  of  artistic  expression  will  represent  a  mixture  of  the  culture  of  Seton  Hill  University  and  the  changing  Greensburg  community.  Not  only  will  this  increase  the  feeling  of  unity  between  the  university  and  the  community,  it  will  also  boost  the  residency  in  the  city  because  of  the  beautification  of  the  area    

Proposed  Design    This  design  represents  the  spirit  of  artistic  expression  in  the  city  of  Greensburg  and  the  involvement  of  the  student  population  in  the  community.
