ArtWorks, Esoteric Brewing Co., and Model Group are collaborating on a mural project in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. The project involves creating a mandala-inspired mural on the northern façade of Esoteric Brewing Co. Visual and Community Artist Radha Lakshmi is the creative mind behind the mural design. The mural is set to be completed by the end of October and will serve as a welcoming landmark for the community. This project is part of ArtWorks’ community engagement strategy in Walnut Hills, with several murals already created in the area.
The mural aims to represent beauty, resilience, unity, and cultural identity within the community. Esoteric Brewing Co. will feature Lakshmi’s design on its crowler label and host fundraising events to support the project. Esoteric Brewing Co. is a minority-owned and operated brewery founded in 2020, contributing to the diversity of the Walnut Hills neighborhood. Model Group is involved in neighborhood revitalization and affordable housing development in Walnut Hills. ArtWorks has a long history of collaborating with organizations to create public art projects in Cincinnati, supporting local talent and youth development.
