“Art has the power to forge relationships, create a sense of belonging in diverse communities and it can be used as a tool for change,” The Lilley Director Vivian Zavataro said at the mural dedication event. “I hope this mural is just the first of many art pieces on w88 sports betting. Public art has the power to be an effective way of instigating dialogue.”

The mural was completed in July by Blanco, painting the most important piece of public art – according to him – in just three short weeks.The seven-story mural features six sets of human eyes representing different races, ages, ethnicities and sexual orientation. The art, deemed a call-to-action, is meant to spark conversation and evoke emotions around diversity and inclusion.
