Watt Center Program: The Barn Artist – Feb. 27

One of the most recent projects of Scott Hagan, aka The Barn Artist, is this Welcome to Barnesville mural on the northside of the Barnesville Antique Mall.

The first program for Watt Center for History and the Arts program in 2025 will feature the BARN ARTIST, Scott Hagan, Thursday, February 27 at 7:00 for a presentation of his work.  

Scott will speak about how he developed into a regional muralist and share projects from around the region and state. One of his most recent murals is in Barnesville, Ohio, on the north side of the Barnesville Antique Mall. It is easily seen by those travelling south on Route 800 (North Chestnut Street).

In 2003 as Ohio celebrated its Bicentennial, Scott was selected to paint the official logo on barns in all 88 counties in the state: quite an accomplishment. He has also created interior murals in many school gymnasiums throughout the region.

The Watt Center is located at 511Watt Avenue, Barnesville. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. A $5 donation to support the work of the Watt Center is recommended.  Come early to see the displays featuring local history and artists.
