Comunidad by Camilo Nuñez and Florencia Durán

Installation Date: December 2018

Location: 28 N. Garden Ave, Clearwater, Fl 33755

Comunidad by artists Camilo Nuñez and Florencia Durán is a public wall mural commissioned by the Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and located on the side of the Garden Avenue Parking Garage at 28 North Garden Avenue in downtown Clearwater. The mural was completed in December 2018 and measures approximately 100 feet tall by 30 feet wide.

Comunidad is a celebration of cultural diversity, and shows empowered, united women who form a network and community. Uruguayan artists Florencia Duran and Camilo Nunez used sketches of real women to inform their murals and portraits. The animations are designed to surprise and delight audiences, while the longer montages, videos and animated sequences add depth to the narratives of portraiture, female empowerment, and dancing.

Part of the CRA's mission is to create a high-quality public realm which weaves art and culture into the fabric of everyday life. In June of 2018, the city of Clearwater issued a call to artists. The ask: Design and paint a mural that is inspired by the city of Clearwater, and have it completed by Jan. 31, 2019. The city received 144 applications, and Nunez and Duran eventually won the competition and gained the opportunity to portray their work on a large scale.
