ArtWorks to Add New Mural in Cincinnati

ArtsWorks (Cincinnati), local Esoteric Brewing Co. and Model Group are collaborating on a local project to transform the northern facade of Esoteric, located in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati. This partnership will bring to life a mandala-inspired design envisioned by Visual and Community Artist Radha Lakshmi in a wall mural. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of October — according to a press release from ArtWorks.

This gateway mural at Historic Peebles Corner will serve as a welcoming landmark for both locals and visitors. Lakshmi’s design will be part of the mural collection in Walnut Hills, which ArtWorks has been creating since 2021. This mural will be a symbol of beauty, resilience and unity, embodying the spirit of the community. 

Lakshmi will work closely with eight ArtWorks Apprentices, aged 16 to 21, who will work on painting the mural under the guidance of Teaching Artists Thomas Osorio and Hanna Smith. 

“We are thrilled to partner with ArtWorks, Model Group and artist Radha Lakshmi on this transformative mural project,” Marvin Abrinica, co-founder and chief marketing officer, is quoted in the press release. “Esoteric Brewing Co. has always been dedicated to celebrating diversity and community, and this mural perfectly embodies our commitment to those values. We can’t wait to see the vibrant colors and intricate design come together, welcoming residents and visitors with open arms.”
