The venue also includes an art-filled Mural Pavilion, where locals can admire a collection of preserved paintings by African-American artists originally commissioned by officials of the government’s Works Progress Administration in 1936, and Beatz hopes the historic pieces will be appreciated by younger generations.
He told the crowd at the hospital opening, “(It’s) like, ‘Wow, let’s introduce them to something that’s right in the neighborhood that they can come and get inspired.’”
Digital images of the artwork are also beamed onto the outside facade of the building and the hip-hop star, who will curate the artwork on display in the medical centre’s lobby, is planning to stage art programmes in the new Pavilion to inspire youths to get creative.
