As part of the City’s strategy to further the arts identity in Hamilton, an arts committee was formed in 2014 comprising arts professionals in the community and City staff. One of the ideas developed by the committee was StreetSpark, an effort to produce high-quality public art that will create opportunities for local artists and enhance the visual appeal of the city. StreetSpark launched in 2016 and over the first three summers of the program,eight murals were completed in highly visible locations around downtown, Main Street, East High Street, and at Miami University Hamilton. StreetSpark is an initiative led by the Fitton Center for Creative Arts with the City serving as an important partner in the effort.
