Images At the Crossroads Fresco At the Civic Center

This Ben Long fresco depicts life at the crossroads; where choices are to be made. A theme that captures the past, present and future of Statesville, Iredell County and western North Carolina. Statesville is quite literally at the crossroads, from its proximity to two major interstates to its shifting focus. Historically an agricultural center, the 21st century has seen changes in the landscape, with the addition of industry, technology and tourism. The overall meaning of the fresco is choice, and the journey considered. The fresco may be viewed during business hours.
