Our newest mural artists had something to say when we asked about working with GreenWise Market.

“[The engagement of local artists] speaks of a commitment to the communities in which the stores will be located and the role of art to connect people to their community. I was quite honored to be selected and found the support from Publix to be encouraging and extraordinary!”

• Wayne Rogers (#1710, Lexington, South Carolina)

“I think it’s wonderful that GreenWise Market supports local artists. It’s just one of the things that makes it stand out from other markets. Naturally, I was thrilled to be selected to create the mural, and it was so exciting to see it installed in the store.”

• Ellen Burr (#1674, Boca Raton, Florida)

“By inviting independent artists to participate in the GreenWise Market experience, Publix honors everyone working toward a dream. I can’t imagine anything more encouraging than to hear someone say, ‘We like your work so much, we want it to cover this entire wall.’ I’m pretty sure I did backflips down the hallway.”

• Fred Koehler (#1659, Lakeland, Florida)

“I love how this represents true community to use local artists from the area for a local store. I have always secretly wanted to create something for Publix/GreenWise Market, but this is way more than I can imagine. I’m so honored by this opportunity!”
