Something new is coming to Haywood Mall — spanning 715 square feet, measuring 65 feet wide and 11 feet tall, the shopping center’s first mural will feature some of Greenville’s most notable landmarks and icons. The project began on Aug. 27 and will be completed by Sept. 15.

The Greenville mall commissioned Blank Canvas Mural Company for the large-scale, permanent art project. Adam Schrimmer, owner of the mural company, is a community engagement artist who has designed and painted over 50 pieces of artwork around the Upstate. He’s also painted seven murals across the nation.

The mural will be painted on the outside wall of the Apple store, across from Saltwater Kitchen, and adjacent to Starbucks on the ground floor. Mall-goers are welcome to watch the artist paint the mural titled “Iconic Greenville” inside Haywood Mall at 700 Haywood Road.

“I’m thrilled to be painting this iconic art installation inside the Haywood Mall. It’s a great way for art to touch people who don’t have the opportunity to go to museums,” artist Schrimmer said in a released statement. “I hope it’s a catalyst for more visual art inside public spaces.”

“Iconic Greenville” will feature places, people, and items such as the Westin Poinsett Hotel, Paris Mountain, the Liberty Bridge, the Peace Center, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and the yellow jasmine (the state’s flower).

Owned by Simon Property Group, Haywood Mall is one of the largest shopping malls in the state. The Greenville mural is the first to appear inside of a Simon mall.

“We are excited to partner with Blank Canvas Mural Company and incorporate Greenville’s growing local art scene into Haywood Mall,” Jamie Wright, Haywood Mall’s general manager, said in the statement. “This mural captures all that is great about Greenville, and we can’t wait to share Adam’s masterpiece with our shoppers.”
