This is the design of the fence minus the black line. It features artwork from an Orlando Weekly cover, a mural at the corner of Mills & Colonial, a mobile mural used for photo background, a sticker and more.
On Monday, September 19, the owners of Pulse, the City of Orlando, the Downtown South Main Street District and the Orange County Regional History Center will install a new fence around the perimeter of Pulse. The new fence features a commemorative screen wrap displaying art pieces created by local residents in response to the June 12 Pulse Tragedy. The commemorative screen will serve as a visual memorial in remembrance of the 49 victims and more than 50 injured during the Pulse shooting, and as a testament to the strength, unity and love demonstrated by the Orlando community in the face of tragedy.
As safety remains a top priority for the City of Orlando, the new fence will be significantly reduced in size; ensuring residents, visitors and employees and patrons of the surrounding businesses can safely visit and navigate around the site by foot or vehicle. Visitors to the memorial are reminded to be considerate of the surrounding businesses and to adhere to all parking and traffic regulations.
In conjunction with the new fence and screening, the Orange County Regional History Center will begin collecting the majority of the tribute items currently at Pulse starting Friday, September 16. For the past seven weeks, the Orange County Regional History Center has been working to carefully collect and archive all the non-perishable tribute items that have been placed at the Pulse Nightclub site; all items are being catalogued and photographed prior
