Disney Springs Unveils Vibrant New Mural in Celebration of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month

Disney Springs is adding a splash of color and cultural celebration to its Art Walk: A Canvas of Expression with a stunning new mural by Miami-native artist Nicole Salgar. Titled “Viaje Despierto” (Awoken Journey), the mural draws inspiration from Salgar’s Colombian heritage and encourages viewers to embrace mindfulness and presence in their daily lives.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Artists

During the creation of “Viaje Despierto,” Salgar took the opportunity to connect with aspiring young artists from the Osceola County School for the Arts. She shared her personal artistic journey and inspired the students to confidently pursue their own creative passions. Following the workshop, the students enjoyed some of the limited-time offerings celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month at Disney Springs, including new menu items and VIP seating for a performance by Latin pop singer Drey-C.
