SUBJECT:
Approval of a PAD Mural Program Artist Service Agreement with Sitki Dogan for the mural at 607 Orange Avenue in the amount of $12,000.00
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 2025 to further enrich the district's artistic landscape.
In August 2024, a Call for Artists was issued, followed by a review of submissions by staff in September. The property owner selected the artist, Sitki Dogan to create a mural at 607 Orange Avenue.
Sitki's vibrant piece, titled "Flora Symphony," celebrates the beauty of nature through a harmonious blend of colors and intricate floral designs. The mural is expected to become a focal point in the area, inviting both residents and visitors to appreciate art in public spaces while fostering a sense of connection.
As a result, the selected artist agrees to enter into an agreement with the FPRA to proceed with the commencement of the mural.
