On Sep. 13, the newly opened Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA) will unveil a memorial statue in honor of the legendary rapper's passing nine years prior. The bronze monument will occupy the center of Peace Garden in Atlanta, Ga.
Sculptor Tina Allen designed the seven-foot statue, which will stand on a three-foot base inside a fountain shaped like a gothic cross. Shakur's quotes and poetry will surround the sculpture.
Additionally, the Tupac Summer Performing Arts Camp's kids will perform, and discussions will be held with the late rapper's mother, Ms. Afeni Shakur. Although the ceremony is free, tickets to the reception afterward are $50. And for a donation of $100, you can get a ticket to the reception and a commemorative, egnraved brick, which will be constructed into the Tupac Center, all proceeds going toward the $3 million still needed to complete the Center.
On September 20th, a number of hip-hop and R&B’s top artists will take a brand new approach to using Tupac Shakur’s poetry in song, paying tribute to the late rapper in his own words on The Rose, Vol. 2 – Music Inspired by Tupac’s Poetry.
