Scott Springs Park Exhibit

Well look at that....it's #MuralMonday!  

Scott Springs Park, 2825 SW 24th Ave. The double-sided panels feature two separate mural exhibits, A Journey Though Marti City by Maggie Weakley and Glimpses into the History of Marion County’s Black Culture by Jordan Shapot. 

The murals were commissioned through the City’s Cultural Arts and Sciences Division to depict the multicultural history of the Ocala community. Guests viewing the murals are treated to two very different scenes depending on which side they stand. While one side depicts the Cuban culture that thrived in the 1890s, the opposite side showcases the City’s Black and Black Seminole history. Both sets of panels are inspired by local historical photographs.
