Observant Orange County residents might notice a few additions to our county lately: street art focusing on hope at more than 10 places, including The Great Park, three vaccine super sites, John Wayne Airport, and other iconic locations. More than 70 artists, including at least 50 students from the Orange County School of Arts, were commissioned to put forth their ideas about resilience and optimism for the community. The project, “Hope Lives in O.C.,” is a partnership between City of Hope Orange County, the Orange County Health Care Agency, and other businesses and groups.
