Come celebrate the completion of the Unity Point Murals!
The Unity Point mural project is officially complete, and it tells the story of
Rome in a powerful, visual way.
Rome in a powerful, visual way.
Originally constructed in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympics, Unity Point marks an important chapter in our city’s history. Following its SPLOST-funded revitalization, this space now carries new life and new meaning.
The mural reflects:
• Rome’s textile and rail heritage
• The 1996 Olympic torch relay
• The economic impact of the Coosa River
• The globally significant biodiversity of the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers as they form the Coosa
Second only to the Amazon River in biodiversity, this river system helped inspire the design and storytelling woven throughout the artwork.
This project was shaped through collaboration and community storytelling by Renee Peterson of Peachie Queen Art, Julie Smith (TRED), Monica Shephard, and Hannah Bagley (Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful) and in partnership with Downtown Development Authority.
History. Natural beauty. Community. That’s Rome.
PHOTO/VIDEO RELEASE: By attending this event, photographs and videos of the event and individuals will be public and possibly used in future marketing for the Rome Floyd Chamber and its associates.
