This large (12'x72') mural was only recently completed (summer 2008) and graces the side of the Hovis furniture outlet along Park Ave. It shows various aspects of local life and history, capturing the spirit of our heritage.

"The 12’ x 73’ mural, implemented through Allegheny's Arts & Environment Initiative, is now installed on the Hovis Annex Building in downtown Meadville on the east side of the corner of Park Avenue and Chestnut Street."

Resources for the Market Alley mural were provided by a gift from the Valera Richards family in memory of the late Gwendolyn Barboni, a local artist and past director of the Meadville Council on the Arts. Funds were also provided by the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Core Communities Program. Numerous community partners have helped support the project including the Grassinger family, owners of Hovis Interiors, who provided permission to locate the mural at the site; ACE Lumber, which is assisting with materials costs; and area residents John Koehler and Jed Miller, both of whom provided technical consultation.
