RISING UP PARRAMORE
A mural project celebrating the history of Parramore
CREW Orlando has a history of community outreach projects and endeavors, including the Tower of Light. In 2022, CREW Orlando collaborated with the City of Orlando, Orlando Neighborhood Improvement Corporation (ONIC) and local female artists of color to design and paint a mural honoring the Unsung Heroes who provided their services to the community of Parramore during segregation. Particular attention was paid to the history of the Wells’ Built Hotel which hosted artists and musicians of color during their stay in Orlando, as well as professionals (lawyers, doctors, nurses and educators) who provided their services to the Parramore community at a time when its residents could not obtain services elsewhere.
Visit this seven-story mural on display at the CityView Apartment Building, 101 S. Terry Avenue, Orlando, FL 32805, which is blocks from the former Wells’Built Hotel (now, the Wells’ Built Museum).
