"A Postcard from Home"
- 7117 Vine St. Cincinnati, OH 45216 in Carthage
- A project of the 2008 ArtWorks Summer Program
- In partnership with the Carthage Civic League, Inc. and the Carthage Community
- Mural dedicated September 2008
The Carthage mural is an old-fashioned postcard from the Carthage community to Cincinnati. This mural encompasses the side of Valley Drive Thru and measures 80 feet wide by 16 feet tall. A banner boasts salutations in English and Spanish: “Welcome to all” and “Bienvenidos a todas.” Bold block letters spelling the community’s name each hold unique images of what makes Carthage unique within the City. No other mural has depicted so much detail about a community. Images showcase all things Carthage: the Hamilton Country fairgrounds, the train yard, a fire station, an ode to veterans, and the Cincinnati Bridge that sits above I-75. Also included are images of vibrant, busy residents, bicycling and swimming at a community pool. Atop the mural is a map, showing Carthage’s placement at the intersection of all major highways in the City.
