The Orlando Museum of Art is proud to host this community event to commemorate the mural: Inspiration Orlando United. Join us as we unveil this beautiful tribute and hear from community members honoring the lives lost and impacted by the horrific Pulse nightclub shooting.
Background:
On the night of June 12, 2016, a festive atmosphere in the Pulse Nightclub was suddenly shattered by violent gunfire. 49 beautiful lives were taken and 53+ injured. Immediately following the tragedy, Michael Pilato, Yuriy Karabash and Chimene Hurst formed and led a collaborative team to create a unique mural titled “Inspiration Orlando United.” What evolved is a visual narrative illuminating courageous acts of compassion that in-turn revealed a heart of love and kindness in the City Beautiful.
This mural’s mission is to engage and utilize public art to transform this tragic event into a visual shared history with stories of treasured lives, inspirational responses and selfless acts of leadership, love and hope.
