TD Bank Grand Opening in Calle Ocho Honors Community Heritage with Artistic Tributes

WHO:    On Saturday, October 29th, TD Bank invites the community to participate in a Grand Opening celebration at our new Calle Ocho location that will include free food, music and DIY activities for children where they can learn about recycling.

WHAT:  In honor of the community’s heritage, the new location will feature two art installations of special significance to Calle Ocho. Local Cuban artist, Santos Mendez, created a mosaic mural on the side of the store that depicts harmony and friendship among surrounding cultures and creatures. 

As a tribute to artist Pedro Damian, TD Bank partnered with TerraCycle to create a rooster made of recycled materials as part of their Zero Waste initiative. The 7-foot rooster is made of construction materials from a TD Bank build site, assorted break room waste, retired billboards and beach umbrellas and used pens.
