Chris and Amy (Chris’s talented wife, photographer and editor of The Haven) were instrumental in bringing this iconic art piece to Winter Haven. Their promotion of this major coup for our city brought many people, from all over Florida, to Winter Haven. While they were here to see the Banksy exhibit, they also enjoyed local food and shopping opportunities – boosting business across the whole city.
