Unveiling of "Greetings From Columbia" Mural at Finlay Park
2026-06-10 10:00 - 11:00 | Finlay Park, 930 Laurel Street, Columbia, SC, 29201, United States
The City of Columbia, in partnership with Keep the Midlands Beautiful (KMB), will celebrate the unveiling of the new “Greetings From Columbia” mural with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Laurel Street entrance to Finlay Park.

Installed near the park’s signature spiral fountain, the mural is the third in Keep the Midlands Beautiful’s “Connecting and Protecting Communities” mural series across Lexington and Richland counties. The artwork was designed and painted by Austin Garrett Reagan with input and guidance from the City of Columbia and was funded by Keep the Midlands Beautiful.

The mural highlights Columbia’s unique character while promoting anti-litter and recycling messages that encourage residents and visitors to help keep the community clean and beautiful.

“The ‘Greetings From Columbia’ image and the anti-litter and recycling theme will be a vibrant greeting for visitors to our newly reopened Finlay Park and inspire civic and community pride,” said Skot Garrick, Strategic Initiatives Administrator for the City of Columbia.

The Columbia mural follows the installation of similar murals in Swansea and Lexington as part of Keep the Midlands Beautiful’s ongoing effort to foster community pride and environmental stewardship throughout the Midlands.

“These murals are designed to help instill pride among residents and visitors in our city and state,” said Traude Sander, Executive Director of Keep the Midlands Beautiful. “We each play a role in keeping our community an attractive, healthy, happy, and safe place for all of us to live, work and play. Something as simple as putting litter where it belongs, every time, can make a tremendous difference.”

Community members and media representatives are invited to attend the ribbon cutting and view the mural as one of the newest additions to Finlay Park.

Leveraging Homeless Courts and Care Courts to Support Individuals’ Homelessness, Mental Illness, and Substance Use Disorders Needs
June 24, 2026, 3:30–5:00 p.m. ET
REGISTER NOW
Jurisdictions nationwide have implemented homeless courts and care courts as structured responses to the challenges faced by individuals who are homeless, have mental and substance use disorders, and intersect with the criminal justice system. These models emphasize collaborative, cross-system approaches that connect individuals to services to promote recovery and resolve legal barriers to housing, employment, and transportation.
This webinar will provide an overview of two programs that demonstrate the homeless court and care court models. Presenters will share Ventura, California’s CARE Act program, including its structure and measurable outcomes. The webinar will also feature the Columbia Homeless Court program, established in 2015, with a focus on its development, operational framework, and data trends. The discussion will highlight how these programs can strengthen system coordination, resolve legal challenges, and improve outcomes for individuals with complex needs.
Learning Objectives

Understand the function of homeless courts and care courts in addressing homelessness among individuals with mental and substance use disorders.
Describe essential elements of homeless court and care court models.
Consider ways to leverage the homeless court or care court models at the local level to address housing barriers among justice-involved individuals who also have mental and substance use disorders.

Presenters

Levana Adato, LCSW, Clinic Administrator, Ventura County Behavioral Health
Hans W. Pauling, Esq., Director of Affiliate Services, Fifth Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s Office
