Catalyst Columbus, partnered with the city of Whitehall to revitalize a blighted area on the corner of Broad Street and Hamilton Road. The site, once home to the troubled Woodcliff condominiums, was slated for a major $250 million mixed-use development.

​

In the meantime, Catalyst Columbus saw an opportunity to beautify the area and engage the community. Led by artist Mandi Caskey and Brian Suiter, a team of volunteers transformed a row of abandoned houses with a vibrant paint job. These colorful houses served as a temporary art installation, sparking conversation and injecting life into the deserted area.

​

The project aimed to achieve more than beautification. It embodied the spirit of renewal, showcasing the potential for transformation that was on the horizon. The vibrant colors served as a counterpoint to the drab and decaying houses, offering a glimpse of the future development.

​

This project exemplified Catalyst Columbus' mission to use art as a catalyst for positive change. By collaborating with the city and the community, they were able to create a unique and memorable experience, fostering excitement for the upcoming development.
