Together for Akron
On January 6, 2024, Shammas Malik was publicly sworn-in as Akron’s 63rd Mayor, and a community celebration followed at House Three Thirty. Art x Love was engaged to create a collaborative mural for the occasion, using Mac Love’s design from his Akron Speaks: Community Conversations worksheets.
Akron leaders and residents were invited to answer the question: What does “Together for Akron” mean to you? This mural is entirely composed of their responses, and was completed by Mac Love as a signature holographic painting for display in City Hall, where it currently resides.
