Artful Play Playful Art

This short documentary tells the story of a miraculous piece of public art for children, from conception to completion.
The dragon sculpture project is part of the brand new Benito Juarez Park, which The Trust for Public Land developed in the City of Maywood, California. Maywood is one of the state's most densely populated and park-poor cities. This landmark piece of public sculpture is the centerpiece of the park, reflecting the Mexican-American heritage of this neighborhood's residents and the color, whimsy and magical creativity of Oaxacan art.
