JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A community task force is bringing a 1,700-square-foot mural to Jacksonville\u2019s 5 Points neighborhood, celebrating its diversity and honoring its LGBTQ history.<\/p>\n
The task force commissioned Jacksonville native Shaun Thurston, whose murals appear at EverBank Stadium, the Cummer Museum of Arts & Gardens, the PGA TOUR headquarters and the Museum of Contemporary Art, to design and paint the piece.<\/p>\n
The mural will cover the southwest-facing wall of Sunburn Cannabis at 1059 Park St. Paint Maven began prepping the surface July 23, and Thurston starts painting July 25, with completion expected within a month. <\/p>\n
Adjacent parking spaces will be closed during the work to prevent overspray damage.<\/p>\n
