With the support of TRIBE Seminole Heights, a nonprofit community center located across the street from the school that supports Seminole Heights and Broward Elementary, Rojo the Artist painted the world's largest Kobe Bryant mural on Seminole Heights Elementary School's basketball court.
“Art is such a positive thing to be around; the more you are surrounded by it, the more you think you can be an artist, so we wanted to be able to share that philosophy with the students and make sure they see art everywhere at their beautiful school to brighten their days,” Kristen Brown, TRIBE Director.
When Rojo started working at Seminole Heights through TRIBE, it started with small projects like reinvigorating the school's artwork highlighting Steven Covey’s 7 Habits. From there, he was inspired to paint their basketball court, and with funding support from a donor through TRIBE, his vision came to life. TRIBE has transformed the school with bright motivational messaging and artwork. Aside from support our schools, TRIBE offers 50 after-school activities to students for only $5 a class.
Rojo hopes the students are excited to see the work evolve from start to finish; his goal is to inspire the students and question who Kobe is since he was such a leader, role model, and blueprint of success.
