OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The long-awaited unveiling is almost here.
On Oct. 26, 2024, from 9 to 9:30 a.m., there will be an event at the Ocala Downtown Market to showcase the new mural design and introduce the artist who created it. The new mural will replace the current one on the City of Ocala Storage Water Tank. The design was selected through a public call for artists.
The reveal will kick off the annual Ocala Arts Festival, hosted by Fine Arts for Ocala. Everyone is welcome to join, and there is no charge for the unveiling.
People at the event can join in the abstract expressionist movement during the Community Brush Bash. This lets residents take part in the mural painting by adding their own touches, just like Jackson Pollock, by splattering paint on the water storage tank.
Funding for the mural was partially provided by FAFO, the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation, and Ocala Main Street.
