“The Gordon family has always been so supportive of the culture and the arts,” Calvo said.

Louis Gordon said he was always informed of any artwork done at the building and “anything that happened there was always tastefully done and we absolutely trust them.”

Gordon said work like the Prince mural is a draw to the area.

“People are driving into the downtown area just to take a picture with it, and it’s for a great cause,” he said.

A portion of the Jazzfest proceeds will go toward the Special Treasures fund for foster youth who have passed the foster care age limit of 18, according to the Special Treasures website.

Even though the mural was done with the intention of removing it after the event, Calvo said he is considering presenting a request to city council to have it approved for a permit.

An approval would mean the mural could stay, and possibly more could be added to the wall in the future.

“I would assume that (city council) would be willing to sit down and decide how to proceed with this piece of art,” Davis said.
