"This week, the city unveiled Hometown Heroes, a three-piece exhibition that showcases San Jose sports figures from NFL stars to roller derby players and synchronized swimmers while also putting a spotlight on the artists and photographers who bring their images to us. It'll be on display through July 31, as the region hosts Super Bowl LX, NCAA men's basketball games and FIFA World Cup soccer matches."
"But the most eye-catching piece is Larger than Life, the four vinyl murals adorning the long hallway in City's Hall's wing. Each of the four artists Emilio Cortez, Elba Raquel, Sam Rodriguez and Alyssa Wigant created a piece that works on its own, but taken together, they form a great tapestry of San Jose's athletic heritage. They celebrate homegrown heroes like Jim Plunkett, Brandi Chastain, Steve Caballero and even Krazy George and highlight the lessons sports can teach us about adversity."
Hometown Heroes is a three-piece exhibition at San Jose City Hall celebrating local sports figures and the artists and photographers who capture them. Digital screens throughout City Hall display The Community in Motion, a rotating lineup of 44 sports photographs by 25 local photographers showcasing activities from Little League to Sharks games. The City Hall tower lobby features Arnold Del Carlo's post-World War II photography of San Jose State athletics. Larger than Life presents four vinyl murals by Emilio Cortez, Elba Raquel, Sam Rodriguez and Alyssa Wigant that honor homegrown heroes and the lessons sports teach about adversity. An opening reception took place last Tuesday.
