“This is a metaphor about how a diverse collection of people is the foundation for a strong community and by working together hand in hand we can make our world grow into something beautiful.”

Adam May, Mural Finalist

Submissions were gathered in April and May from the many talented and creative people living or working in Cleveland Heights. A committee of community members was established to help make the final selection. After receiving 12 submissions, three finalists were chosen and then it was narrowed down to the design with the most votes. We are proud to announce that Cleveland Heights resident Adam May was the top choice and carried the majority of votes. Adam took the time to describe his vision:

“The idea behind the mural is a field of vibrantly colored handprints forming the foundation from which beautiful flowers bloom. This is a metaphor about how a diverse collection of people is the foundation for a strong community and by working together hand in hand we can make our world grow into something beautiful. It’s a symbol that not only are all welcome here, but all are important here for the success of our community.”
