Welcome to Salisbury Mural at CVS
The Welcome to Salisbury mural is the foundation canvas for the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce project called the Salisbury Canvas Cruise. This mural is a congregation of the building blocks of Salisbury: railroad, schools, city, agriculture, founding fathers, commerce and business, entertainment and park system. Each letter will have an associated QR code which will lead visitors to the Chamber of Commerce website and a brief history of each aspect of Salisbury’s history.
Over the course of the next 2-5 years, more “canvases” will be added in and around Salisbury. Murals are planned for Millstone Plaza and both the City and Pott’s Park. Businesses are encouraged to add selfie stations. Places of interest in Salisbury’s history, such as the churches, will be given the opportunity to become a stop for visitors as they make their way through town. The possibilities are endless as Salisbury looks to provide a day trip of historical interest. All the stops on today’s scavenger hunt will have the opportunity to place QR codes at their location as the canvas cruise develops and launches.
The Chamber of Commerce is also hoping to work with individuals, churches and businesses across town to mark locations of historical significance and interest. The successful development of the Salisbury Canvas Cruise will create an interesting and fun activity for all generations when they visit Salisbury.
The mural artist is Mr. Ray Harvey. Mr. Harvey has been creating large-scale murals for corporations, public entities and individuals since 1990. His works of art can be found across Missouri from Hannibal to Lexington to Charleston and across the nation as well. His works of art are intricate, realistic and patriotic. He has been a joy to work with as we have thrown many ideas his way and he has taken our ideas and goals and ran with them to create a unique and foundational work of art.
The Salisbury Chamber of Commerce would like to thank you for your participation in today’s historical scavenger hunt. All money raised will be used to continue to build the canvas cruise. If you would like more information on how to make tax deductible donations to this ongoing project, scheduled to be completed over the next 3-5 years, please see a chamber officer or mural committee members Stephany Clark and Jennifer Thornburg. Chamber officers are Melanie Latamondeer, Stephanie Farnen, Terry Hulett and Melanie Sparr.
