The Grand Street BID is proud to highlight Growing Together, a new mural painted by local artist Vanesa Álvarez Díaz. Located outside of Tribeca Pediatrics on 622 Grand Street, this mural was painted with the help of the community and students from PS018. Vanesa hosted a community mural painting party, where community members and students helped create this beautiful piece of artwork depicting unity. The BID was glad to have assisted Vanesa with logistics and during the paint party.
Growing Together was funded entirely through the Brooklyn Arts Fund, a grant from Brooklyn Arts Council.
From the artist:
Growing together is a community mural project that seeks to empower and honor the East Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn. A family neighborhood with a lot of history, which is standing up to gentrification.
I am beyond grateful for the community which I am part. Gracias! 🙏🏼
