Yesterday evening, we dedicated a new public artwork at the Legends Center. The artwork, titled “Legends,” is a temporary digital projection mapping project by the Castano Group celebrating African American trailblazers and their impact on the community through a vibrant and colorful display.

CCGJ joined with City Council Member Ju’Coby Pittman, Executive Director of the Office of Economic Development Ed Randolph, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services Daryl Joseph, and the Castano Group to dedicate the artwork, a first of its kind in the City’s public art collection.

You can see it displayed nightly from 8pm-11pm on the exterior of the Legends Center.
