Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Murals Project
The main goal of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project is to create a reason for those passing tourists to STOP to enjoy Ramona’s beauty, charm, character, and heritage and to rest a spell. After looking at the examples set by other mural towns, a group of Ramona business people came together to launch an aggressive outdoor visual arts program, starting with murals.
The acronym, H.E.A.R.T. not only indicates Ramona as the geographic center of San Diego County but reflects the character of the community
- H for Historic and Hiking
- E for Equine
- A for Arts, Antiques and Agriculture
- R for Scenic Rural vistas and drives
- T for Tasting of fine wines
According to the H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project website Ramona HEART Murals – Ramona is the HEART of San Diego County (ramonamurals.com)
This project was created by Elaine Lyttleton, co-owner and winemaker of Hatfield Creek Vineyards & Winery.
This year there were 3 barrels, the highest priced one at $2,200.
It was very nice to gather again. Everyone was so excited to attend the event. It will be great to see the new murals that result from this festival.
