M/F/D/V During America's Great Depression in the 1930's and early 40's over 5,000 jobs for artists were created by the federal government. These "New Deal" artists produced over 225,000 works of art in post offi ces throughout the United States. Enduring images of "American Life" were depicted in large works, usually murals inspired by Diego Rivera's Mexican mural tradition stressing social change. However the hard realities of American life were not shown in these murals, it was the everyday heroic and daring acts that were portrayed. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's WPA New Deal program funded the artwork, and the murals were produced by the Section of Fine Arts which was administered by the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department. Many of these American works of art have been lost, stolen or destroyed. In Concord North Carolina "The Spirit of North Carolina" mural was destroyed when the post offi ce was torn down to build a new one. These precious images of our American way of life have become few and far between. The good news is that there are some of the New Deal murals still left here in Western North Carolina. In Brevard the "Good News" glazed tempera mural has been moved from the post offi ce to the Transylvania Library. In Belmont the oil on canvas mural "Major William's South Fork Boys" is still in the post offi ce, which is now being used as the Belmont City Hall. Canton's "Paper" mural is a Terra-cotta 7 reliefs mural. Gastonia's "Cotton Field and Spinning Mill" oil on canvas mural is still in their post offi ce. Morganton and Lincolnton still have their post offi ce murals intact and restored. King's Mountain's "Battle of King's Mountain" mural is still intact. Forest City has a plaster relief mural entitled "Rural Delivery." The Boone New Deal mural "Daniel Boone on a Hunting Trip" has been restored and is now featured on the Appalachian Mural Trail so it's original intent can continue... to be viewed by everyone! The Appalachian Mural Trail has been developed as a way to document and share these huge works of art with the world. After 10 years of research, the Appalachian Mural Trail came alive in 2017 at the hands of Jerry and Doreyl Ammons Cain. The project has now blossomed into a viable, expanding success with 45 North Carolina historical murals on the trail. "People enjoy the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains through experiencing nature on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now visitors can learn more about our mountain ways as they travel into the towns and communities on a mural quest, a cultural treasure hunt!" says Doreyl Ammons Cain, mural trail Director. "We are inspiring small Appalachian communities to create their own high quality heritage murals; painting folk tales, Cherokee legends, mountain music and the beauty of the land. These murals are placed on an interactive website, muraltrail.com where visitors can select and create a personalized mural trail route with driving time & directions. Most murals are within driving distance of the Blue Ridge Parkway and directions are based on Parkway mile markers. The Appalachian Mural Trail is designed to help the mountain economy through drawing Parkway visitors into the small, quaint mountain towns where they can dine and fi nd lodging." Currently there are two mural maps on muraltrail.com, North Carolina and Virginia. The mural trail project started in North Carolina and is now moving into Virginia where small towns like Stuart Virginia are already painting their town mural to be placed on the Appalachian Mural Trail. The Appalachian Mural Trail is a partner with the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area and also is a member of the Blue Ridge Parkway Association. The Smoky Mountain Host, the High Country Host and the Blue Ridge Mountain Host are marketing o r g a n i z a t i o n s that list the A p p a l a c h i a n Mural Trail, promoting the trail to visitors throughout the mountain area and on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Both North Carolina and Virginia Welcome Centers are distributing mural trail rack cards. Other marketing includes press releases to local, regional, national and international media. Dedication events for adding each mural to the mural trail are highly promoted through all the media. "We invite areas who already have murals to sign up! Simply go to www.muraltrail.com and select 'membership' and fi ll out a simple submit form. If you'd like to get started on creating your own historical mural, select 'Partnership' then fi ll-out the form and hit submit. All of your questions can be answered by selecting 'contact the Director," says Cain. "Gateway cities are also invited to place their murals on the mural trail, cities that are the doorways to the Appalachian Mountains, like Richmond Virginia and Greensboro & Winston Salem, North Carolina. The major "gateway cites" are the portals by which the Blue Ridge Parkway travelers usually enter by air from great distances. These gateway cities have a great potential for large tourism numbers from these Parkway bound travelers. The Blue Ridge Parkway sees 16 to 18 million visitors a year. Our plan is to attract these visitors before they begin their Parkway journey. A specialized Gateway Mural Trail interactive page is being developed to inform the visitors of any local murals that might be near their route out of the city. If the visitors like what they see on the inner city trail, then they may decide to spend some of their stay in the city before heading out to the Parkway. The Appalachian Mural Trail's new website, www. muralspotting.com is now available for the general public to upload pictures of varieties of murals in any location in the US or around the world. Once your photo is uploaded you can also post about your reactions to the mural art. "Public mural art is created just for you," says Cain. "You are free to view the art as long as you want and really feel what the artist intended, then take out your smart phone, snap a picture and jot down how you feel about the art... you're now a mural spotter! Next look up www.muralspotting.com on your smart phone and upload your picture and comments. Once a mural spotter, always a mural spotter... you'll always be looking!" "We are especially interested in the WPA New Deal murals that were painted in the 1930s and 40s and placed in post offi ces throughout the country, " Cain continues. "There are still a few of the New Deal murals in the Appalachian Mountains. We're hoping to recognize these parts of our history in a new way. Our precious mountain heritage and it's amazing stories need to be shared with the world, thereby uplifting the way we see each other and telling the truth of who we really are, talented, creative folk who love to tell a good story!"
