Disney Springs Art Walk, A Canvas of Expression, featuring local and international artists, will launch later this month.
Artists will be invited to create murals that “fill the walls with color, emotion, and the spirit of their cultures.” The Art Walk will be in the Town Center of Disney Springs. It will grow and change over time as new artists and pieces are featured.
The first artists to be showcased at the Disney Springs Art Walk are Laci Jordan, Chad Mize, Stacey Aoyama, and Eric Tan.
Laci Jordan is a multidisciplinary designer, illustrator, and Creative Director. Her work concentrates on color, pop culture, the representation of marginalized people, and the intersectionality that exists amongst all of these spheres. Laci was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, and currently lives in Los Angeles.
Chad Mize is a multimedia artist, designer, and muralist. With a love for past and contemporary culture, he takes a humorous, tongue-in-cheek approach to his designs. Chad is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Stacey Aoyama grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area with a variety of career ambitions. However, her consistent passion for drawing and being creative prevailed and she is now an illustrator and designer, working for Disney Consumer Products.
Eric Tan is from San Diego, California and his passion for art sparked after seeing The Jungle Book at the age of three. Eric has now been a designer at Disney Consumer Products for over 20 years.
