LARGO CENTRAL PARK CROSSWALK MURAL PROJECT | |
|
Creative Pinellas and the City of Largo are excited to announce a special project to beautify the crosswalk in Largo Central Park.
Open to all Pinellas County artists. The City has partnered with Creative Pinellas to identify a local artist who can bring a new mural to the center of the Central Park Drive crosswalk that promotes the City’s strategic focus areas of Sustainability, Public Health and Safety, and Community Pride. The current mural was painted on the crosswalk in 2018, and after five years of enjoyment, it has worn down due to roadway use and general wear and tear. It needs to be beautified once again. The deadline to apply is Thursday, January 18.
