The City of Pompano Beach commissioned DJ the Artiste, AKA Djerlens Chery, to create a large mural highlighting the City’s Trail of the Honey Bees project. The mural was created by a 2023-2024 BaCA Artist in Resident and funded through a Community Foundation of Broward Grant. The mural is 18 feet 7.5 inches high by 87 feet long and features a child immersed in a book on honey bees, lounging in a daisy-filled field, enjoying a quiet moment with the bees. The mural was created to highlight the City’s mosaic project entitled Trail of the Honey Bees.
