Project Description
Hines has teamed up with ArtWorks to produce an exciting project aimed at enhancing the experience for visitors to Rookwood Commons and Pavilion. Four exterior murals will be created this summer, each featuring a fresh, energetic design incorporating a bright, eye-catching color palette. The goal of this partnership and project is to transform this previously overlooked area along the Common's back drive nearest Madison Road into a contemporary, inviting space. The apprentices working on this project will play a key role in achieving this objective, helping to infuse the area with a new spirit while welcoming visitors and shoppers to Rookwood Commons and Pavilion.
