Community Welcomes First New Mural
A Xenia Mural Society was formed as a component of Greene Giving, the Greene County Community Foundation. In August of 2011, we celebrated the completion of what we hope will be the first of many more new murals in Xenia in the years to come.
The Xenia Mural Society is made up of interested citizens who have volunteered their time and expertise to help provide direction and focus for the project. We will work to help building owners locate funding for the artwork from the private and public sectors and to promote expansion and preservation of other Xenia Murals in the future.
