BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — If art is your thing, mark your calendar now for a new “public art experience” debuting in Boca Raton in one week. Here’s the advisory shared with BocaNewsNow.com:
The City of Boca Raton invites the community to experience Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0, a large scale interactive public art experience debuting in Wildflower Park on October 25, 2024. Launched by the City’s Public Art Boca program, in partnership with leading destination maker Creos, Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0 is Public Art Boca’s first major temporary public art installation.
Created by acclaimed artists Esrawe+ Cadena, Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0, is inspired by the mercados of Latin America, lively street markets where human connections are made every day. The installation features eight three-dimensional red frames that illustrate the warmth, comfort, and safety of our homes. Inside each is a swing that invites visitors to engage in a fun and playful way, transforming the area into a hub of engagement and activity, where people of all ages can socialize. A warm glow invites passersby to enter when a Casa is empty, with the glow intensifying to indicate someone is home.
“Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0 represents the spirit of community and connection that defines the City,” commented Veronica Hatch, the City’s Public Art Coordinator. “This is an opportunity for everyone that encounters this interactive art experience at Wildflower Park, to reflect and celebrate the warmth of sharing spaces as a community”.
