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.

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.

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.

www.thrivecollective.org/portfolio/psms-34-i-am-loisaida/
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.
Inaugural winner of the Walter Dean Myers Grant 2015, author Angie Thomas visited Charlotte during 2019's Community Read. Considered required reading by The New York Times and Entertainment Weekly, "The Hate U Give" has been published in 20 countries and is a major motion picture. The story revolves around 16-year-old Starr Carter, an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances addressing issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart and unflinching honesty.
During the hour-long program, Angie Thomas inspired guests to find their voices and pursue their inner activism. Topics included inspiration for the book, how recent political events in the country became personal for affected communities, and how art can turn into activism. Following her discussion was a Q&A and book signing.
Community Read is presented in cooperation with over 30 partner organizations to build a stronger community. Information about this event and more can be found below:

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.

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.

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.

With support from the Immigrants Cultural Fund, Thrive Collective provided visual arts classes at PS/MS 104 in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn that explored the school’s immigrant cultural diversity and collaboratively produced the Brooklyn Gives schoolyard mural, featuring legendary street artists and school alums Kaves and ADM. Our multidisciplinary arts education and social development programming began in February, and empowered students, parents, volunteers, and faculty at the school to design and execute a shared vision from April – June.
