The Sherman Area Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.  The Chamber, in cooperation with the property owner’s Becky and Roy Van Valkenburg of The Cornerstone Restaurant, and the Village of Sherman, are working together to commission the painting of a mural in a public art display at the central southern entrance to the downtown, near the trailhead. 

 

The art will capture Sherman’s character, history, and culture by depicting life in the community and the natural assets within Sherman, providing a beautiful and inviting gateway into the Main Street from Interstate 86, and a strong sense of place for residents and visitors alike.    

 

The public art installment will be painted on the west side of The Cornerstone Restaurant 104 E Main Street.  This is at the intersection of Franklin Street and Main Street, the point where East and West Main Street meet, which is the center of the active downtown business district.  This is also the intersection of two NY State Highways: Main Street is NY State Route 430 and Franklin Street is NY State Route 76 (that intersects I-86).
