COLUMBUS, OH – The Columbus Clippers and the Greater Columbus Arts Council have announced the selected artist for a new large-scale mural to be painted on the wall of Huntington Park’s left-field building. The selected design, submitted by Jeremy Jarvis of Columbus-based Jarvis Art Studio, honors over a century of local baseball heritage centered around a giant Clippers ship. Jarvis will receive a $50,000 commission to complete the project, which includes public engagement activities with Clippers fans.
Jarvis Art Studio designs, paints, and installs murals and large-scale visual media for residential, corporate, non-profit, and public spaces nationwide. Twenty-five applications were submitted from which Jeremy’s design was selected for the project.
The project was made possible through a generous grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC). GCAC is Franklin County’s primary arts funder supporting artists and arts groups through grants, workshops, and services, and they managed the mural submission process and artist selection. Work on the new mural will begin in the spring of 2027 and is expected to be completed during the summer.
"I'm incredibly honored and grateful to have been selected for this project,” said Jarvis. “As a Columbus artist, having the opportunity to contribute artwork to such an iconic landmark in the city I call home is especially meaningful. Thank you to the Clippers and the Greater Columbus Arts Council for placing their trust in me. I'm excited to celebrate our city's history, spirit, and love of baseball through this mural, and I can't wait to bring it to life and share it with the community next spring.”
When completed the mural will measure approximately 30’ tall by 23’ wide stretching along the 2nd and 3rd floors of the northern end of the west-facing side of the building, visible to the entire seating bowl at Huntington Park.
“We’re incredibly excited to add a creative and bold design to Huntington Park as we begin our 50th Anniversary season,” added Clippers President Tyler Parsons. “This project was the culmination of over a year of exploration, and we appreciate all the effort from the Greater Columbus Arts Council and our community review panel to bring this to life. There was a ton of interest in this project and we’re thankful for each and every artist who submitted a design for this space. Columbus is an amazingly creative city and we couldn’t be happier to have Jeremy Jarvis selected for this mural. We know he’ll do a tremendous job and we can’t wait to share it with all of our fans this upcoming season.”
Ticket plans are on-sale now for a special 2027 season at Huntington Park as the Clippers celebrate the team’s 50th season. Fans are also making plans for several other events at the facility next season, including Ohio State baseball versus Indiana and the wildly popular Banana-Ball and Cosmic Takeover tours. This winter marks the debut of Columbus Clippers Holiday Lights, as Huntington Park hosts a spectacular 43-night holiday celebration featuring more than one million lights, immersive displays, festive entertainment, and unforgettable memories for the whole family.
