Hello Lancaster! Let's Make Some Art.

Local artists, Fern Dannis, along with Peter Barber of Two Dudes Painting Company, have been selected to create an artful intersection at the top of Cabbage Hill. This project is part of the Bloomberg Foundation's Asphalt Art Initiative to create street murals and other creative interventions to improve pedestrian safety and enhance public spaces.

The intersection of West Strawberry Street, West Vine Street, and South Mulberry Street sits at the top of “Cabbage Hill.” This five-way intersection is an uninviting, sometimes confusing space integral to the neighborhood and city-wide traffic circulation. Public engagement is beginning in June, with the artwork being designed over the summer. The final application of paint-to-asphalt is set for September 11, 2021.

What is an artful intersection?

Artful Intersections connect artists and neighbors to work together to create street murals in their neighborhood. The street murals serve as a reflection of the life and culture of the neighborhood; it is expected to expand the perceived public space to encompass the street; increase awareness and safety of alternative forms of transportation, and boost community development.
