The piece, which was completed on Feb. 14., is one of several works by Black artists that are part of the Disney Springs Art Walk. These are being displayed year-round at Disney Springs so that guests can learn more and experience Black culture through food, art, entertainment and music.
“This is really cool. There’s people from literally all around the world, millions of people, so when they come to Walt Disney World, I hope they see the piece and get a sense of adventure and feel the journey,” said Hill.
