Sprocket's first mural in Steelton, PA arrived in
September.
Sponsored by and located at Mid Penn Bank, 51 S. Front
St, Steelton, a giant mural wall pays homage to themes
chosen by surveyed residents—history, diversity, and the
people of Steelton.
"We are looking forward to showcasing a beautiful piece
of public art at our facility," said Heather Hall, Mid Penn
Bank Executive Vice President and Market President. "As
the only bank in Steelton, we are dedicated to providing
support to the community in many different ways. We see
this mural as a way to honor Steelton's history and inspire
its bright future."
e artist, Matt Halm, hails from Allentown, PA,
another town made famous by its steel production. Halm,
experienced in community-driven murals, invited the
public to help paint the mural over several days.
Sprocket organizers find that communities who engage
with murals often develop a deeper sense of community
pride and additional benefits when they have the
opportunity to participate in the mural process.
"While much of our work over the past seven years
has focused on uplifting Harrisburg through art, it's
exciting to have the opportunity to spread the joy—
through murals—to our city's neighbors," said Jeff Copus,
Sprocket co-founder. "Our partners in Steelton could not
be more positive and welcoming, recognizing the value
this large-scale mural will add to their vibrant community
and daily lives."
