An Ivy Tech Columbus faculty member has been tapped to paint a mural going in the new Kroger store on National Road.

Geri Handley with the Columbus Area Arts Council has announced that Alison Homer’s design was chosen by a panel of judges for the store’s mural. Homer said that she has been a witness to how the Columbus community’s shared excellence motivates civic pride and individual pursuits.

Homer earned her bachelor’s in fine arts from Savannah College of Art and Design and is a faculty member in Ivy Tech’s school of fine arts and design.
