Imagine Peace and Unity archway
Peace and unity go hand in hand
they are the two things that
can make this place a beautiful land
please listen to me and don't
laugh when I say
we can't afford to let
peace and unity fade away

Over-the-Rhine resident who participated in the archway project.
The IMAGINE PEACE AND UNITY Archway in Imagination Alley is our second project. The 16 ft high, 18 ton concrete structure has mosaic panels created by children and adults at Washington Park School, St. Francis Seraph, Lighthouse Community Services, the Drop-Inn Center, Peaslee Neighborhood Center and more.
The structure was built by local artist, Greg Schmidt. Mosaic panels were created at the Miami University Center for Community Engagement. The unveiling and dedication ceremony took place on October 2, 2004 at 1317 Vine Street.
The archway frames the entrance to Imagination Alley, a small pocket park owned by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and located in the 1300 block of Vine Street. Large mosaic panels (based on designs by children at Memorial Community Center) were installed a few years ago.
