The FTL Chamber of Commerce x Florida Panthers mural encompasses the natural beauty and personality of our South Florida home and Florida Hockey Team. In collaboration with local artist Carlos Solano, the Florida Panthers curated this masterpiece with inspirations stemming from our traditional hockey culture, energy from our fans and passion from the organization. The mural also pays homage to the south Florida environment and features colorful, engaging elements to bring everything together.
Highlighted in the center is our mascot, the Florida panther, surrounded by an abstract depiction of the state of Florida shaped as a hockey player's arm wearing a jersey and holding a hockey stick. The sawgrass element represents the Everglades, while the crashing wave symbolizes our Florida oceans. The surrounding elements are curated from our natural Florida setting and team itself.
Along with the mural, we have a Smart Plaque placement on the wall for your smartphone, which transforms the mural into a gallery experience. You will be able to hear the story about the mural by a recording provided by the organization and artist. The Panthers will also be installing Braille on the wall for the seeing impaired to enjoy the mural as well.
The Chamber of Commerce donated the wall to the Florida Panthers. Panthers worked with Twenty26North productions to source local artist Carlos Solano who worked very closely with the team's creative and marketing team. Carlos worked with the Florida Panthers creative team on the creative direction and concept to bring the art to life.
