Join us for an evening to discuss art, culture, and history!
Meet the artists who will bring the Garfield Super Block to life! 16 selected artists with ties to the Central District are creating original artwork to be installed in Garfield Park commemorating seven historical cultures that lived and thrived in this neighborhood.
Myron Curry’s mission is to create impactful cultural art that not only beautifies the community but also serves as a source of inspiration and empowerment. He believes that art has the power to bring people together and to spark important conversations about social and cultural issues. Through his work ,he strives to give a voice to marginalized groups and to tell stories that might not otherwise be heard. In addition to creating visually striking works of art, he is deeply passionate about community engagement and strives to involve local residents in every aspect of the mural-making process
