Downtown Apopka has a colorful new landmark that’s turning heads and capturing hearts — the Hello Apopka mural. This vibrant, larger-than-life artwork is more than just a photo-worthy backdrop; it’s a celebration of community pride, local collaboration, and the city’s growing cultural identity.
Located in the heart of Apopka, the mural was unveiled on June 3, 2023, and was made possible through a dynamic partnership between Apopka Serves Foundation and Apopka Murals, two organizations dedicated to enriching the community through creative initiatives and civic engagement.
With bold lettering, bright colors, and iconic local imagery, the Hello Apopka mural offers a cheerful welcome to residents and visitors alike. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick snapshot or simply passing through, the mural’s uplifting message is clear: Apopka is a city that celebrates its people, its culture, and its future.
A Vision Brought to Life
The concept for the mural was born from a shared desire to spark community pride and create engaging public spaces that reflect Apopka’s evolving story. The Apopka Serves Foundation — a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit — works tirelessly to support projects that uplift the city, while Apopka Murals specializes in bringing public art to life with meaningful design and local collaboration.
Together, they envisioned a mural that would not only beautify downtown Apopka but also serve as a welcoming symbol for all who call the city home.
“This mural is a perfect example of what can happen when community-minded organizations come together with a shared vision. We’re proud to be part of something that celebrates the city in such a bold and creative way,” Apopka Serves Foundation.
