George Gist is considered one of the top African American muralists in the country. His three panel mural on the New Granada Theater pays tribute to it’s rich history of jazz.
This once beautiful, lively, keystone to the hill district has certainly seen better days. No one is willing to give up on it yet though. It seems as though any dream of rejuvenating the Hill District will center on the rebirth of the New Granada Theater. To that end, the Hill Community Delvelopment Corporation (who owns the building) is working toward something good here. They have a program to use art (both visual and theater arts) to help pull the community into a process to make change happen. Mr Gist was brought in to help with murals and more.
