“This art installation is a small way for us to acknowledge our history, while also looking to the bright future that lies ahead,” Cody Martinez, Chairman, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. The chosen artists have taken part in ArtWalk San Diego. The installation is meant to commemorate the tribe’s bingo history and celebrate its new partnership with mobile game developer PLAYSTUDIOS. Their five giant hand-painted bingo balls, presented Wednesday, will be featured throughout the El Cajon resort for several months, for resort-goers to enjoy and photograph. Sycuan Casino Resort has combined art with gaming, commissioning local artists to design the main tools of a beloved casino game.
