This episode features the HENDO ASL Sidewalk Mural which covers the walkway from the corner of 5th Ave East and N. Pine Street to the corner of 5th Ave E. and Maple Street.
The mural was painted by Diamond Cash and was commissioned as part of a grant the city received from the AARP for a community art project. The city used the funds to fulfill a goal of connecting the main street downtown area with the historic 7th Ave district by installing art along the sidewalks between the two areas. The hope was that it would entice visitors to make the ½ mile walk and enjoy both sections of town.
Diamond is a native of Hendersonville and has painted several murals for the town, including the City of Four Seasons mural and the Bear Crossing Sidewalk mural both featured on this audio tour.
HENDO is a nickname for Hendersonville and Diamond was inspired to spell it out in both colorful letters and sign language to recognize an often-overlooked part of our community, the hearing impaired. She will tell us about the mural and the inspiration for it.
