Murals

Sherry Ferrin works on painting a mural with her grandchildren on the side of a parking structure at 23rd Street and Washington Boulevard in Ogden on Thursday. The vinyl painting celebrates the changes the city has made, including its attraction of top sporting activities. When complete, “Breaking Through” will depict a climber, a cyclist, a kayaker, a runner and a BMX biker. It’s the seventh mural in Ogden in a decade. (KERA WILLIAMS/Standard-Examiner)

S. Ogden soliciting murals for water tanks

There are two 1-million-gallon water towers on a hill east of Harrison Boulevard in South Ogden. They've been there for decades, so most people probably don't notice them anymore -- but that's going to change.

To celebrate the city's 75th anniversary, South Ogden is inviting artists to design murals for the water towers.

"Many of us who have grown up here have passed by those things daily, and they've become a part of the landscape," said Christy McBride, special event coordinator for South Ogden. "It will be neat for the community to see them transformed into art pieces."

The towers currently sport a neutral background, with the word "South" on one and "Ogden" on the other. That design was painted on more than 20 years ago.
