We are excited to welcome Dean Davis, owner of Art Farm, as our upcoming guest speaker. Dean is the visionary behind Toledo’s transformative 100 Mural Project, an ambitious effort reimagining our city as a living, breathing gallery.
What began as a simple conversation about the riverfront has grown into a citywide movement, with each mural rooted in the voices, history, and spirit of the neighborhoods they represent. From honoring legends like Art Tatum to uplifting everyday heroes and creating bold symbols of belonging, Dean’s work tells Toledo’s story one wall at a time.
He believes public art is more than paint, it’s identity, pride, and gratitude made visible. His passion for listening to communities and turning their stories into shared civic art makes his perspective on creativity, place, and leadership one you won’t want to miss.
