This podcast episode of “Stand Out from the Inside” features Brad Anthony and host Edgar discuss the Heart of the Community campaign. Brad explains how he was approached by Versiti to create a series of paintings that represent recognizable aspects of major US cities such as Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Indianapolis. He talks about incorporating highway and road signs into the compositions as indicators of location, and well-known landmarks that are located in different parts of the cities. The goal of the campaign was to raise awareness and funds for Adversity, a young boy with sickle cell anemia, and other children battling similar illnesses. The funds raised would help them with their medical expenses, and other community members in need. Edgar expresses his admiration for the campaign and the impact it has had on the community.
