Lego mosaics on display in Richmond-area Provident Banks

Two LEGO mosaics by Brickworkz are currently on display at local Provident Bank branches in the Richmond, Virginia area.

"Richmond: River City" Lego mosaic on display at the Main St. branch of Provident bank in Richmond, Virginia. Click for larger version.

The Richmond: River City LEGO mosaic is being displayed in downtown Richmond. The Main Street branch of Provident Bank, located at 1001 East Main St. in Richmond, features the three-part mosaic on a prominent wall. "In order to accommodate the space, we 'wrapped' the third panel of the Lego mosaic around the corner," brick artist Brian Korte said. "It looks great in that space."

The second piece, a new LEGO mosaic creation from Brickworkz, was created specifically for a financial institution. Designer Brian Korte used dollars from every popular U.S. denomination (and even some less-popular denominations) to create the layout.

"Cash" Lego mosaic on display at the Broad St. branch of Provident bank in Richmond, Virginia. Click for larger version.

"I first got the idea when I made a withdrawal. The teller fanned out the bills as they were handed to me." Korte said. "I quickly changed the withdrawal to include 'the cleanest, crispest bills of every denomination you have.' I got a strange look, but the teller assured me that it wasn't the strangest thing he's ever heard from an artist wanting to do something creative with his money."

This new LEGO mosaic is on display at Provident Bank's Broad St. branch - located at 3124 West Broad Street in Richmond.

Broad Street branch manager Rosalind Elder and Main Street branch manager Zachary Obey are looking to help Brickworkz readers, should they need a personal banking relationship. Feel free to contact them using the information below.
