Colorful Murals Proposed for Downtown Sarasota Parking Garage
SARASOTA – Picture Ace Ventura’s quirky bouffant popping out of a wall or Johnny Depp’s cool stare as he lips a long cigarette, his rendition of the iconic Hunter S. Thompson.
Add a chorus of deep reds and hues of purple and yellow and blue swirling and bouncing around images of happy, dancing people. Take it in as you park your car.
That’s what city officials and the leaders of the Sarasota Chalk Festival hope to bring to the sterile concrete walls within the new municipal garage with $25,000 from the public art fund.
