After collecting applications from local artists and a two week period of painting,
Cocoa Village ArtWorks is proud to unveil nine beautifully made-over benches surrounding the Taylor Park playground area in Cocoa Village.
A number of submissions were made from students at Merritt Island High School as well as a co-op art gallery directly across from the project site, Carolyn Seiler’s Studio.
Come see the stunning designs and the new look they give to Taylor Park. It is ArtWorks hope that this project will carryover into other murals and art installations. If you are interested in having your business spotlighted on the benches along with the artists who created the designs, please contact Executive Director Ken Wilshire at (321) 633-0806 or office@cocoamainstreet.com
