Bremen Work Of Art Nears Completion

BREMEN, OH – The 10’ x 45’ Bremen Downtown Revitalization mural, depicting Bremen at its best, will be completed this week. It is located on the west-facing wall on the corner of Main St. and Broad St. in the downtown commercial district.

Melody Borchers, Bremen Downtown Revitalization Project Manager, said “Bremen’s town mural is a work of art depicting a ‘street scene’ that includes several elements of the Village of Bremen. The message of the mural tells its visitors, olde Bremen Village is a great place to live, worship, shop and visit. I’m thrilled that the unveiling of the mural kicks off our revitalization efforts.” The mural was entirely paid for by private funds raised by the Downtown Volunteer Corp. Contributions came from local businesses, organizations and citizens.

The muralist, Matt Indrutz, is the owner of Muralworks, a full-service art studio specializing in custom, hand-painted surfaces. Matt graduated from Columbus College of Art & Design, and has had murals featured in the Powell Area Chamber of Commerce Tour of Homes, “The VERB” mural at Polaris Fashion Place and has also done restoration work at Saint Patrick Church in London, Ohio.

Everyone involved in the project hopes that the mural will attract tourists and encourage people to appreciate Bremen’s history and vision for the future. Troy Tripp, Downtown Volunteer Corp, is confident that the Bremen mural will help boost community pride, along with tourism, by providing enjoyment of its beauty.
