To date this is Cincinnati's longest painted mural. The area is 2,304 square feet - equivalent of painting a mural one foot wide and 850 taller than the Empire State Building. Twenty five people worked on the mural (Lead artist Kurt Nicaise, 5 Teaching Artists and 19 teenage apprentices.) The apprentices came from 13 different schools and 14 neighborhoods, including Roselawn. Over 65 gallons of special ultra violet inhibor paint (NovaColor) waas used to paint the mural.
