Project Overview

The Cocoa Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has approved a public street art project for the intersection of Oleander Street and Brevard Avenue directly in front of the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse where they are seeking public design submissions. The selected design will be printed on a thermoplast product that will be installed on the asphalt and displayed for years to come in front of the Playhouse. The City of Cocoa used the same type of product on the crosswalk that was designed in front of Endeavour Elementary School. The Cocoa CRA will select the design from the submissions based on the criteria listed. 

The design submissions will be posted online for the public to give input from July 21-28, 2021. The public’s choice will be presented to the Cocoa CRA at the August 2, 2021 CRA meeting along with all other submissions and the Board will then select their top three submissions. Cocoa City Council will then select their favorite from the top three designs. The design chosen by the Council will then be printed on the thermoplast material and installed in the intersection.
