Global Village Murals
A permanent IOS initiative
As Inglewood prepares for the global spotlight of FIFA 2026, the Super Bowl in 2027 and the LA28 Olympics, IOS has launched a landmark mural initiative to showcase the city's rich cultural legacy — a premier visual gateway at the high-traffic intersection of Market Street and Manchester Boulevard, directly beneath the ‘Sports and Entertainment’ digital billboard, transforming three prominent commercial buildings into historic canvases.
Grand Griots
In West African tradition, the Griot is the keeper of history and the weaver of community stories. As lead muralists, IOS’s Grand Griots are tasked with translating Inglewood’s soul into a permanent landmark. By looking back at our foundations, they help us see the way forward.
