Last winter we put out a call to artists to help us make our building shine, and Kirk Seese of BB Murals is one of the many talented artists that answered the call. Kirk is a national public sculptor with artwork in 20/50 states so far. We are honored to have him design and paint a mural at the site of our headquarters.
Kirk designed a piece titled, "Melting Pot" a colorful concept featuring a stained glass look with puzzle pieces fitting together.

Our view, down on the sand, was a bit more intimate; we were inside the fury, underneath a canopy of loud explosions and sizzling color. When the light show stopped, the all-night party started. Revelers, who had come a great distance and at great expense and were not going to waste a precious moment of their summer holiday, stayed to party.
