Current Project

The City of Hillsdale will get a scenic upgrade to its City Hall, with The Heritage Association’s 2023/2024 historic mural beautification project.  The artwork for this mural is being designed by local artist David Youngman. It will consist of three aluminum panels that will be adhered to the fence that encloses the air conditioning unit in the back of City Hall. One panel will be a 14’ x 6’ and two will be 8’ by 6’ panels.

Below are the draft sketches as a sneak peak!
