 Museum Without Walls Installation

Local Artist Jack Carlton, with assistance from Jason Vaughn, completed his latest installation of the Museum Without Walls project in downtown Youngstown at the Harry Burt/Ross Radio building on Saturday, February 7.  The new exhibit includes six canvas panels containing photo collages featuring Harry Burt, the Good Humor® ice cream bar on a stick, and the operations of Burt’s Confectionary in the 1920’s.  The collages also feature historic photographs of other sites in downtown Youngstown from the 19th and early 20th centuries.  All images came from the Historical Society’s archives.  The result is a very attractive exhibit which, along with the large canvas banners on the side walls announcing the building as the future location of the Mahoning Valley History Center, will continue to draw attention to the site as the Historical Society finalizes development plans and continues to raises money.  Partial funding for this project came from the Florence Simon Beecher Foundation.
