The “Legacy Through Art” initiative was launched by the City of Delray Beach in partnership with the Downtown Development Authority to reflect Old School Square’s “commitment to community, creativity, and cultural preservation.” Last month, Torras, along with two other local artists, emerged as finalists from a field of more than 30 other artists to create a new logo for the local arts campus. The Delray Beach community then cast their votes, of which Torras won by a comfortable margin of about 600, pulling more than 4,000 votes.

DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA), in collaboration with the City of Delray Beach, proudly announces local artist Patricia Torras as the winner of the Legacy Through Art initiative. Torras, a longtime Delray Beach resident, received the most public votes—4,006 out of over 10,000 cast—to inspire the new logo for Old School Square, the city’s iconic cultural arts campus.
Launched last month, Legacy Through Art was created to celebrate and revitalize the visual identity of Old School Square, home to the Cornell Art Museum, Crest Theatre, Creative Arts School, Amphitheatre, and Vintage Gym. More than 30 local artists submitted their original designs that reflected the spirit and story of the historic campus. A panel of art and design professionals narrowed the entries to three finalists—Jen Fisher, Kristin Pavlick, and Patricia Torras—whose work best captured Old School Square’s visual spirit.
During a three-week public voting period, Torras emerged as the community favorite, followed by Fisher (3,409 votes) and Pavlick (3,260 votes).
“I’ve lived and breathed Delray Beach for most of my life,” said Torras. “As a South Florida native, I’ve always drawn inspiration from the city’s color, architecture, and community energy. To create something so personal and lasting for a place I love—that’s incredibly meaningful.”
Torras’ logo concept features a colorful design, created in watercolor, and aims to capture the creative pulse and historic significance of the Old School Square campus.
She added: “Old School Square has been part of my life for nearly 25 years. Whether walking along the Avenue or attending community events, this place has always felt like home. My design is a love letter to that experience—an expression of its legacy and its future.”
