Artwork Created by Cumberland County High School Students Permanently Installed at the Blue Mountain Service Plaza on the PA Turnpike

The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) unveiled a new mural at the Blue Mountain Service Plaza on the PA Turnpike, created by Shippensburg Area High School art students. This is the 17th artwork created in conjunction with Art Sparks, a PCA and PA Turnpike partnership to bring student-created, locally relevant artwork to service plazas across the PA Turnpike's 565-mile system.

"These students used critical thinking and teamwork to develop this artwork, which are just a couple skills and attributes that are beneficial both in the classroom and as they develop their own unique career paths, said Karl Blischke, PCA Executive Director. "I am honored to help celebrate your amazing mural and thank our program partners who contributed to this project's resounding success."

"Art Sparks has provided us a unique opportunity to showcase the communities surrounding the Pennsylvania Turnpike through the eyes of students who live in these communities," said Mark Compton, CEO of the PA Turnpike. "Kudos to Shippensburg Area High School students on their work for the 17th and final Art Sparks project. We are proud to provide their artwork a home at the Blue Mountain Service Plaza and are excited for travelers to recognize the talented youth that make up our Commonwealth."
