Throughout the weekend of Aug. 13, dozens of residents across the westside came out to assist artist Sarah Hout as she created a large sunflower mural on the west facing wall at 2338 West Broad St. Hout, a Columbus-based artist who was recently selected to be the designer of the 2022 Hilltop Art Collective’s public art installation, which is coincidentally located on the opposite wall – was undertaking this beautification project as a part of Verizon’s national campaign, A Call for Kindness. She said she chose to create a wall full of sunflowers because she feels they are the “epitome of happiness.” Local volunteers helped Hout color block the background: she finished the flower detailing a few days later.
