The highly visible art mural should represent the City of St. Helena, honor its historical significance of being the “roots of Napa Valley”, and bring vibrant energy to St. Helena’s historic shopping district. It’s important the piece is not only impressive but also feels timeless and can relate to people of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities.
