GREENEWAY TUNNEL MURAL
PROJECT PROPOSAL
ATTACHMENT #10 Page 4 of 9
I. Introduction
We propose to create a captivating mural inside the Center Street Greeneway Tunnel
located in North Augusta, as a part of our commitment to enhancing the cultural and
visual appeal of our community. The project will utilize high-quality exterior satin latex
paint, similar to house paint, to ensure durability and longevity.
II. Artistic Vision
A tribute to the Brickponds – our local haven of wildlife and greenery. This mural won't
just be paint on a wall; it'll be a vibrant storybook of nature's wonders, filled with
shapes and patterns inspired by the incredible flora and fauna that call the
Brickponds home.
Think of it as a snapshot of life in the Brickponds, a place where birds take flight,
turtles leisurely swim, fish play hide and seek beneath the water, and trees and plants
create a lush, tranquil backdrop. All of these elements will come together in a burst of
colors and forms that will make you feel like you're right there in the heart of the
Brickponds, experiencing its magic firsthand.
This mural isn't just about art; it's about bringing our community closer to the beauty
that surrounds us every day. It's an invitation to stop, look, and appreciate the natural
wonders that enrich our lives. Through this mural, we hope to inspire a deeper
connection with our environment and a shared sense of awe for the world around us.
III. Materials and Paint Selection
To ensure the longevity and weather-resistance of the mural, we have carefully
selected the following materials:
a. Paint Type
We will use exterior satin latex paint, a highly durable and weather-resistant option
commonly used for exterior surfaces like houses. This paint type is known for its
longevity and ability to withstand outdoor elements, making it an ideal choice for this
public art project.
b. Color Palette
Our color palette will consist of high-quality, fade-resistant pigments to ensure that
the mural retains its vibrancy over time. The paint will be applied in multiple layers to
enhance its durability and resistance to fading.
IV. Execution Plan
The mural will be created by Jason Craig a local artist who specialize in large-scale
outdoor art installations. The execution plan includes the following steps:
1. Surface Preparation: The tunnel walls will be thoroughly cleaned, deglossed,
primed with a vapor seal and prepared to ensure optimal paint adhesion.
2. Artwork Creation: The mural will be meticulously painted by our skilled artists,
following the approved design.
3. Finishing Touches: Upon completion, a clear weather-resistant sealant may be
applied if needed to protect the mural from UV rays and other environmental factors.
V. Maintenance Plan
To ensure the mural's longevity and continued aesthetic appeal, we have developed
a maintenance plan:
1. Immediate Post-Installation Maintenance (First 60 Days): During this period, our
team will be responsible for any necessary touch-ups and maintenance. This includes
repairing any minor damage, addressing graffiti promptly, and conducting visual
inspections.
2. Ongoing Maintenance (After 60 Days): Responsibility for maintenance will
transition to North Augusta Forward. They will be responsible for the following:
a. Regular Visual Inspections: Conduct routine inspections of the mural to identify
any issues such as fading, peeling, or graffiti.
b. Graffiti Removal: Promptly remove any graffiti or vandalism from the mural surface
to maintain its appearance.
c. Annual Maintenance: Schedule annual maintenance, which may include cleaning,
touch-ups, and resealing as needed to protect the mural from wear and tear.
VI. Conclusion
We believe that this mural will not only enhance the aesthetics of the tunnel but also
serve as a source of pride for our community. With the use of high-quality materials
and a comprehensive maintenance plan, we are confident that this public art project
will stand the test of time and continue to be a cherished part of our city's landscape.
We look forward to collaborating with North Augusta Forward and other stakeholders
to bring this exciting project to fruition.
