A special unveiling ceremony was held on June 12, 2015 to honor local fallen hero, Army Spc Eric T. Burri, and to help raise funds for the Hometown Hero exhibit which will be featured at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel during ArtPrize 7 from September 23 to October 11. Over 100 people attended the event while enjoying a spaghetti dinner, hearing Eric’s story, meeting family and friends, and seeing the work unveiled.
