LOGAN – Logan officials will unveil the city’s latest public artwork at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11.
That mural, by artist Chuck Landvatter, will adorn the west façade of the building at 37 West Center Street in downtown Logan.
“As part of its celebration of the national day of service and remembrance on the anniversary of 9/11, Logan City will host a social to recognize the completion of its America 250 mural on Center Street,” according to George Woodward, the city’s public information director.
The social event and unveiling is scheduled from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., during which Woodward invites local residents to come to meet the artist and get a slice of pizza – while it lasts – from Luck Slice.
A Utah State University fine arts alumnus and muralist, Landvatter is recognized as a shining example of finding success in the arts through community engagement and innovation.
Landvatter earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah before completing a Master of Fine Arts in drawing and painting at USU. Since graduating, he has lectured at several universities, including his alma mater.
He has worked as a freelance muralist since 2007, completing more than 50 large-scale murals across Salt Lake City for a wide range of clients. Landvatter has also created murals in Logan, including the Cache Humane Society mural, which he completed in 2023.
The new mural on Center Street was partially funded by the Logan City Downtown Mural Grant Program, which is intended to enhance the aesthetic experience for local residents with appropriate imagery for all audiences.
The local America 250 celebration is intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026, marking America’s Semiquincentennial.
The national America 250 celebration is intended to foster shared experiences that spark imagination, showcase the rich tapestry of our American stories, inspire service in our communities, honor the enduring strength and celebrate the resilience of the United States of America.
