Savannah Sunrise Rotary Club
Arranges Mural for
West Broad Street YMCA
Professional Savannah
artist and muralist,
Francesco Montefiore, in
cooperation with the
Savannah Sunrise Rotary
Club, is donating an 8 x 5 ft.
mural to the West Broad
Street YMCA. Montefiore
has named the creation
"FROM SAVANNAH TO
SAVANNA." The Y is one of
several local charities which
the club supports.
Montefiore, born in
Buenos Aires, Argentina
from Italian family, recently
moved to Savannah from
South Florida where his
work is displayed at a num
ber of venues including the
Ritz Carlton Hotel in Key
Biscayne, Trump Towers in
Sunny Isles, and on cruise
ships of Holland America
and Royal Caribbean Cruise
Lines. The idea for the
donation to the West Broad
Street Y came from a mem
ber of the Savannah Sunrise
Rotary Club as a suggestion
to help Montefiore showcase
his talents in Savannah.
When YMCA
Executive Director Peter
Doliber, also a member of
the club, was approached, his
reaction was, “Absolutely!
We’d be delighted to find the
right spot for a Mural.”
According to Montefiore, "A
wonderful inspiration came
to me when I began thinking
about the mural. I wanted to
include both children and
adults in this project, and do
an art piece that was original
and different, a concept with
a twist and a sense of humor
... a reflection of innocence
and curiosity while creating
a sense of interaction and
communication.” The
trompe l'oeil 3D mural will
consist of two different
scenes depicted in a double
archway with a column in
the middle. The scene for the
children will be composed of
cartoon animals, in the
African savanna and the
scene for the adults will be a
landscape of the marshlands
in Savannah, Georgia. To
connect the two scenes,
Montefiore will paint a baby
giraffe peeking from the
children's side into the
marshlands. And to connect
the marshlands to the viewer,
a raccoon will be looking out
at the person observing the
painting. This composition
inspired the name of the
hand painted mural, "From
Savannah to Savanna."
Work on the project is set to
be completed by October 12,
2011. An unveiling and dedi
cation of the mural is
planned.
The West Broad Street
YMCA houses an early
learning program for chil
dren 6 weeks to 4 years, a
before and after school pro
gram, an alternative school
for expelled middle school
age children, afternoon tuto
rials, a public library, a
strong summer program, as
well as a variety of enrich
ment and recreation pro
grams.
