SUBJECT:
Approval Executing a PAD Mural Program Artist Service Agreement with Ivan Garcia for the mural at 117 N. 5th Street in the amount of $20,000
SUMMARY:
The Peacock Arts District (PAD) Mural Program has achieved significant success since its inception, revitalizing public spaces with vibrant and culturally enriching artworks. Launched with the aim of beautifying and activating the district, the program has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also fostered community engagement and economic growth. Additional funding of $50,000 was approved for Fiscal Year 2024 to further enrich the district's artistic landscape.
A Call for Artists was put out in February 2024 and in April, staff reviewed the submissions and presented the mural designs to the property owner. The artist, Ivan Garcia was selected to create a mural at 117 N. 5th Street.
The mural, named "Poinciana's Hand", will have vivid landscapes, vibrant colors and pay homage to local history. As Mr. Garcia brings his vision to life, residents and visitors alike can anticipate an inspiring addition to the district's ever-growing collection of murals.
As a result, the selected artist is agreeing to enter into an agreement with the FPRA to proceed with the commencement of the mural.
