Neighbors in East Tremont section of the Bronx have something great to brag about: the I Am East Tremont school mural at PS 58x.
The mural highlights the diversity of the neighborhood, the various activities the students enjoy doing in school, and noteworthy people in the community such as the Coquito Lady and firefighters.
If you find yourself on Washington St. and East Tremont, don’t forget to stop by and admire the mural.
For extra credit: can you identify Mrs. Gunn the principal?

How do you welcome someone into your house and in your neighborhood? This is the question that elementary students from PS 236 wrestled with and explored while creating this mural.
As you can see their imagination is boundless and the result is a fantastical land where a pink elephant, a purple octopus, a monkey and several other characters along with students and adults live together in harmony.
The mural was graciously sponsored by Councilman Cabrera who was present for the ribbon cutting celebration. So, if you ever walk into PS 236 in the Bronx, feel welcomed.

Together with apprentice artists Pilar Batista and Nico Collazo, Thrive’s Creative Director Sam Wisneski led a live, interactive art demonstration at the 2016 Fuel Student Conference on Saturday, October 8, 2016. Five hundred students from the greater New York City area attended the event, and dozens participated in the production of the Art Redemption mural on two 6’x6′ canvases that contrasted the world with, and without, art. The mural was later installed at Park Slope Tabernacle.

A discretionary grant from NYC Council Member Fernando Cabrera allowed us to return to IS 117 for a second School Murals project, this time with a twist. We would leverage the project as a mechanism to invite collaboration between both schools that share the building: IS 117 Joseph Wade Academy and The Young Women’s Leadership School.
Students from both schools worked together to imagine a shared vision for their Mount Hope neighborhood, and brought that vision to life at the main entrance of the building. The last thing students see as they return home each day is the world they are building together.

Thank you NYS Senator Marty Golden, Royal Talens, the Lutheran Elementary School Mural Committee, Michael “Kaves” McCleer, and all the students and volunteers who made Seeds of Love possible.
www.intersectionconsulting.comIt's so easy to get caught up in the numbers game and misinterpret the actual value of the followers and fans you've amassed on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Take the time to understand and nurture relationships with the folks that are actively interested in what you're doing. Don't just collect a bunch of names across various channels.

www.thrivecollective.org/portfolio/i-am-longwood/
In June, the Longwood section of the Bronx became a little brighter and more colorful. Students from PS 333 and 335 worked together on a shared schoolyard mural that offers a glimpse into how they see their neighborhood and how it shapes their identity. For six weeks, students from six classes in the building — three classes from each school — joined us in the yard to help paint the mural, along with dozens of volunteers on Saturdays. The results were fantastic.

The Lower East Side neighborhood of Loisaida is known for its famed murals and the artists who create them. It’s also the birthplace of Thrive Collective and our School Murals program at PS/MS 34 in 2007. We were delighted to return with a second mural project in 2016 — this time exploring the neighborhood’s cultural identity on the focal wall behind the stage in the auditorium.
Thrive Collective’s first school mural project, before we were known as Thrive Collective, was the Dream Walls in the schoolyard of PS/MS 34.

Thrive Collective returned to BSSWA for a second consecutive year, and brought street art legend Sonic BAD to help us develop a Street Art 101 curriculum. The results are breathtaking, as approximately 180 students collaborated with Sonic to bring their vision to life.
The town's fire station is housed in the right-hand side of this WPA project building, which was completed in 1937.
As you can see, rain clouds were building quickly to the west and this was my last photo for the day. I had planned to shoot some things in nearby Malvern but I'll have to save that for another day.
My dad worked at a natural gas compressor station just northeast of Hastings, and he and "the boys" would come to the bar in Hastings for lunch or a quick beer or two after work. The bar was owned by an older lady whose name escapes me (Vera?). She ran the place by herself most of the time (I think she had a helper on Friday and Saturday nights). She would stay open until she was tired and ready to go home, at which time she would just shoo everyone out and lock the door. Both she and the bar are long gone but I remember going in there with my dad a time or two.
