This mural was done by local artist Glenn Mitchell.With everything going on in the world, we could all use a little more kindness. We have Jason Sharp to thank for this beautiful reminder. Jason passed away in 2019. He was a wonderful, beloved local artist whose work was an inspiration to many and he was known for his personal renditions of children, beloved pets, and iconic figures. Jason had a heart for people with mental disabilities shown in his teaching an art course for the Mental Health Center and regularly volunteering for events for those with special needs. He never met a stranger and will be remembered for his hilarious wit, friendly attitude and for ending every encounter with his catchphrase “love love”.

This mural was created by Glenn Mitchell. Glenn has traveled the globe following world-renowned street artists and learning about the process behind creating public art. The Chasing Art Project wouldn’t be possible without her leadership and vision. The purpose of the Chasing Art Project is to unite the city with beautifully inspiring and culturally relevant public art displays.

"Home Sweet Hartselle" is a daily reminder of how sweet home really is. The idea by Rachel Howard, owner and photographer of RAW Images, and with the help of her husband, Nick, artist and graphic designer, Greg Lane, and Hartselle High School art students, they were able to get the community involved in making this idea come to light! During the 2022 Depot Days, members of the community and festival attendees were able to pay just $5 to paint a brick. The funds raised during Depot Days, Rachel was able to create the first ever mural fund for Hartselle Alabama. Not only was this the first mural fund but this was also the first mural approved by the Central Business District of Historic Downtown Hartselle. "It is important to not only bring lively art to downtown but to create memories painted into them" -Rachel Howard. You can find this memorable piece of art at the back corner of 113 Sparkman Street SW Hartselle, AL 35640
