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.

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.
