The Broad and Vine mural has a new sponsor. ClearChannel Communications is donating the electricity necessary to power the LED lights that are an integral component of the design.
Nurses are everywhere. The rich tradition of nursing advances into a forward thinking future. Portraits and words of hundreds of nurses throughout the city are integrated into the triptych, alongside historical nursing imagery and modern medical symbols.
In this mural, the previously unexplored relationship between paint and LED light generates remarkable effects. Glowing imagery transforms the recessed portions that separate the three panels, at times appearing and disappearing, suggesting an animated dreamscape.
Faces appear and vanish. Technology renders apparent the hidden inner workings of the human body just beneath the skin’s surface just as the building behind the exterior walls is revealed.
The Evolving Face of Nursing is a narrative that begins with the bygone days of starched uniforms and hats, and moves to the story of present day nurses who take on increasing responsibility, practicing with knowledge, skill and care.
We’ve begun initial work on an exciting new project involving paint and light. The title is The Evolving Face of Nursing. You will find it at Broad and Vine Streets. Right now, the wall has portions of the existing mural. The image here is the design for the new work.

Greetings from the innovative world of Meg Saligman Studios!
We are excited to share a demonstration of the color change effect that will be used in our new project. The color relationship between the LED lights and paint generate the illusion of vanishing and re-appearing imagery. Thanks to our sponsors and friends for making this possible!
