The project
Art Pollination
The City of Orlando has expanded the Art Pollination identity with a strong focus on wayfinding — installing banners, sidewalk clings, and integrated signage along Church Street to connect project locations and improve visibility. The project launched with a live painting event on September 13, 2025, featuring artists creating murals in real time.
Art Pollination brings together 22 artists, led by Juan William Chávez, to raise awareness about food insecurity through public art, educational programming, and community workshops. All phases are now open, and the project has gained visibility through mural installations, gallery exhibits, the Mennello Museum show, urban trail works, and community day.
