Mosaic Mural in The Parkette

We are proud of this new piece of public art that was completed in downtown Fostoria in June 2021. This mosaic mural was funded by the Community Improvement Corporation of Fostoria with grant support from the Ohio Arts Council.  Artist Vicki Murphy from Columbus, Ohio worked with over 50 community members to break and shape the tiles and then install and grout them onto this wall in The Parkette at the corner of North and Main Streets. It has become a favorite photo spot!
