COME CELEBRATE WITH US!

Join Hearts 4 Minds as we celebrate the unveiling of our newest mural “Be The Focus” on August 19 at 9:30 a.m. “Be The Focus” is located on the wall of the Bank of America San Marco facing the Balis Park Gazebo (in San Marco Square).

The unveiling celebrates both the mural and Sheryl Johnson’s son, Alex, who passed away in 2018 due to mental illness. He would have turned 29 on August 19 and is the reason Hearts 4 Minds was created.

This mural is the work of local artist David Nackashi. Nackashi has previously worked on past murals in the series, according to Johnson, and was chosen to design the Bank of America mural due to his “understanding of our mission, support of our goal, and artistic vision”

“David designed our very first mural in our Murals with Meaning initiative. It’s only right that he works on this special piece that commemorates and honors Alex,” said Johnson. “We hope this dragonfly mural inspires the community and spreads awareness. Hearts 4 Minds looks forward to unveiling our new mural and furthering our mission of changing how we look at mental health.”
