Project Pride enlisted Detroit-based artist Joey Salamon to create what will be the largest mural installation ever in Sarasota. Salamon combines head-turning patterns, a rainbow color palette and repeating three-dimensional geometric shapes in his work, which has reached the national level with album cover art, larger-than-life street murals and restaurant interior design. Next month, at the five-point intersection of downtown’s Cocoanut Avenue and 2nd Street, each crosswalk will be painted in rainbow-colored stripes in a mishmash of crisscrossed directions. The grand debut of the mural will be a unifying event in and of itself—with many city commissioners present, people renewing their vows standing on the symbolic street art and various other educational activities and cultural entertainment.
