SUBJECT:

Approval of a FPRA Mural Program Artist Service Agreement with Hannah Lorra Arts for the mural at 601 Atlantic Avenue in the amount of $10,000.00

SUMMARY:

The FPRA Mural Program is an initiative dedicated to revitalizing the community by transforming blank walls into meaningful works of art. Through this program, the FPRA funds the installation of murals on eligible properties within the designated redevelopment area. This program aims to reduce slum and blight, foster civic pride, and provide a platform for artistic expression while improving the overall aesthetic of the city.

In June 2025, a Call for Artists was issued, and the CRA Advisory Committee reviewed numerous submissions. Following this competitive process, artist Hannah Lorra was selected to create a mural at 601 Atlantic Avenue.
 

Her proposed mural, Forging Futures, honors the mission of Project Lift by blending realism with imaginative vision, portraying welding not just as a skill but as a metaphor for transformation, self-determination, and healing. The luminous reflections represent the student's inner world and dreams, proving that with the right tools and support, every young person can forge a life of beauty, purpose, and possibility.
 

As a result, the selected artist agrees to enter into an agreement with the FPRA to proceed with the commencement of the mural.
