Wytheville Community Survey: 'Round the Mountain Mural

Downtown Wytheville and the 'Round the Mountain Artisan Network are commissioning a once-in-a-generation mural to be unveiled during the 250th Anniversary of the founding of this country in Summer 2026, which will kick off the creation of a larger mural and public art trail in Wytheville.

Rather than asking people to design the mural, we’re asking you to help capture the spirit of Wytheville and the things worth carrying forward about our hometown for generations to come. Feedback gathered from this survey will be shared with the artist finalists helping them develop their mural design concepts. This survey takes about 3-5 minutes.

2.Think of a moment when Wytheville felt most like home to you? What was happening and where were you in Town?(Required.)
3.Which of these feel most essential to Wytheville's character?(Required.)
4.If someone had never been to Wytheville, what scenes, sights, or everyday details would help them recognize it if they walked through town? (Not just landmarks but moments, routines, or things you see without thinking)(Required.)
5.Imagine someone in Wytheville is looking at this mural in the year 2126. What should they know about the Wytheville of 2026 (i.e. how we lived or what we valued), and what advice would you give them?(Required.)
6.What responsibility should this mural have for Wytheville?(Required.)
7.Which kind of elements would help visually anchor this mural as recognizably Wytheville? (Choose up to 4)(Required.)
