The video is pretty good! There's some nice footage of Leigh Murphy painting in her studio at the Carling Building and it ends with a great shot on one of Lisa Cederberg’s paintings.
Some of the things said by Jacksonville Center visual artist, Princess Rashid:
“Downtown will only be as great as the people in it and if we don’t build this thing here, we are actually hurting the vision of the city,” says Princess Rashid.
“We’re in Jacksonville and Jacksonville’s our city and that’s where we have to make our name,” says Rashid.
