REBOUND is a community-based arts and cultural organization. 

We utilize good design and initiate projects with the goal of enhancing community life.

The collaborators associated with REBOUND aim to transform neglected basketball courts into colorful works of public art, bringing together the worlds of sports and art by painting what are essentially large-format murals on the court surface. These public courts will become safe, visually appealing places that can inspire people of all ages with expressions of community pride.  Public spaces meet multiple communities’ needs. Creation of these murals will be a step towards improving public life and generating a spirit of civic belonging for members of the diverse groups who use this court.

The functional side of this project is about improving the surface and making it more playable; the art side exists to create energy and excitement.  This package of improvements will cause the parks to become a more vibrant center of community interaction, the glue that brings everyone together.
