LAND OF MERCHANTS
New Mural in Downtown Orlando
Avrio, the Downtown Orlando Partnership (DOP) foundation and the Downtown Arts District (DAD) revealed a new mural at 39 South Magnolia Avenue on the wall facing CityArts. The mural, “Land of Merchants” is the creation of local artist Jonathan Stemberger, a graduate of the University of Central Florida. DOP and DAD plan to collaborate and partner in bringing the arts and placemaking together in contribution to the beautification of downtown Orlando.
“On behalf of the Downtown Orlando Partnership and Avrio Foundation, we are delighted to partner with the Downtown Arts District. We hope this will be the first of many collaborative projects in our community to make downtown a beautiful place to live, work, and play,”
—DOP Executive Director, Jill Vaughan
