WELCOME TO MAIN STREET
TOLEDO, OREGON
363 North Main Street, in the heart of downtown Toledo. Toledo’s new mural will span the entire north side face of the historic building, owned by the Krause Family.
Toledo Oregon now has an eye-popping “Welcome to Main Street” mural, designed and painted by the fabulous Jeremy Nichols. Working through high winds, heavy rain, and hail, Jeremy and his assistant Hayden Senter hammered this mural out in just one week. This job site was particularly tricky to paint due to the uneven and extreme slope. Luckily, the City of Toledo hooked us up with a City bucket truck and operator!
“”This mural at the entrance to Main Street will help to distinguish one of the remaining true Main Streets here on the Oregon Coast and bring more awareness to our history and culture here in Lincoln County.””
The mural features all things Toledo. From left to right: Paint brush and splatters to represent Toledo’s artist community, a Boomer mountain beaver (Toledo’s high school mascot), rhododendron flowers, golden chanterelles, logs and logging equipment (symbols of Toledo’s major paper mill industry, still in operation), railroad spikes (historic and present day rail line hub, check out their awesome railroad museum!), deer antlers, Douglas firs, and the mural’s center piece - a majestic Painted Lady butterfly common in Oregon.
Big thanks to the City of Toledo and Sequoia Consultants for making this happen! Even though it can be a challenge, we love painting on the Coast and in small rural towns across the Pacific NW! It’s very rewarding and amazing to see everyone’s reactions.
““I wanted to create a bright energetic mural that creates a sense of wonderment and curiosity, and help tell a story of the area. This is an exciting opportunity to brighten up the neighborhood, bring people together, and get to know the local community.” ”
