WAYNESVILLE, Ohio–On the same day that around 90,000 people gathered in Arizona for Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, a crowd of 1,000 ventured to this south Dayton suburb for a vigil and to see an expansive barnside mural honoring the slain conservative commentator.

The artist, Erica Arndts, travels around the country and the world as a muralist commissioned to transform blank spaces on the sides of buildings into pieces of art that capture local history and pivotal moments in time.
