We are thrilled to create a bold mural on the wall of CrossFit Vertical facing Route 13, transforming an industrial
corridor into a beacon of women’s strength, resilience, and leadership visible to thousands daily. Lead artist Audra
Linsner will guide women and girls through every stage—from design to painting—ensuring their voices shape the
work. Three publicly announced Community Paint Days will engage 40–70 participants each, with invitations to
neighboring west end businesses and organizations. Audra will spark conversations on women’s stories and
leadership, making this mural not only a vibrant artwork but a rallying point for connection, empowerment, and
healing—an urgent call to build a stronger future for Tompkins County and beyond.
