The Cincinnati Reds have teamed up with AGAR to create a mural honoring Reds Hall of Famer Pete Rose, just in time for BLINK Cincinnati, which runs from October 17-20.
The mural, featuring Rose in his iconic “headfirst slide,” is painted on a building at the northwest corner of Elm and Magnolia Streets in Over-the-Rhine and celebrates the Hit King’s connection with the city and his hometown team.
The Reds have partnered with several local artists, spearheaded by AGAR. Mural artists include:
- Michael Thompson
-
The Dye Brothers
-
Chase Melendez
-
Luke Lehenbaurer
-
Sonny Day
Mural Artwork by Doug Bunker and Natasha Croft.
Also during BLINK, the statues at Great American Ball Park of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez will be illuminated as part of the event’s light installations.
The statue lighting has been designed by The Plant Trolley, Cincinnati’s premier plantscaping company. They are celebrating 50 years in business in Cincinnati.
