The City of Gainesville celebrates a new 352arts mural created by Gainesville artist Yvonne Ferguson. The project celebrates the memory of Gainesville Fire Rescue District Chief Donald J. King, who died in 2006 at the age of 49. A colorful, new mural now adorns the façade of the historic Wilhelmina Johnson Resource Center, longtime home of the Cultural Arts Coalition and formerly Gainesville’s Fire Station No. 2, located at 321 NW 10th Street.

The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs administrative offices, located on the third floor of The Thomas Center will be closed on Wednesday, December 11 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.  We will be available from 8 a.m. - 11 a.m. and will re-open from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.  We will return to normal business hours on Thursday, December 12.
