"Brownsville King of Love" Marka27's latest mural dedicated to the Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY community in partnership with Artbridge.

The mural is a larger-than-life image of a local Brooklyn youth wearing a golden crown and holding up a custom jean jacket with the message "Spread Love" and several patches and pins representing Brownsville's diverse culture and notable hip-hop legacy. @duckdownmusic @seandabarbarian @famem.o.p

A pair of boxing gloves hanging from the youth's neck with Brownsville written on them symbolizes the strength and resilience of Brownsville and its legacy of champion boxers like Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, and Riddick Bowe, to name a few.

"Brownsville King of Love" is a call to spread love and honor our ancestors by celebrating our cultures, and lifting each other as a community.
Together we shine!

We are honored to present “The Future We Create,” a new 600 foot long installation that works synergistically with Lincoln Center’s West Initiative to rectify some of the many wrongs wrought by Robert Moses.

This ArtBridge-produced project was led by artist Vanesa Álvarez, and assisted by Derval Fairweather, in partnership with Lincoln Center and its surrounding NYCHA communities at Amsterdam Houses, Amsterdam Addition, and Harborview Terrace. The artwork captures the legacy of the San Juan Hill neighborhood from past to present — drawing inspiration from historical figures, contemporary artists, and community members.

The figures presented in the mural wear garments adorned with patterns designed during inter-generational community workshops. The patterns evoke the beliefs, cultures, and histories of the neighborhood. Together, these elements form a collective portrait of where the community has been, and a shared imagining of where it is going.

70 years ago, through eminent domain, Moses led the destruction of the San Juan Hill neighborhood that resulted in Lincoln Center. Adding insult to injury, Lincoln Center's design included a fortress-like wall along its west perimeter, intended to keep out the remaining residents of San Juan Hill.

This mural is part of the construction process of Lincoln Center's West Initiative, which — at long last — tears down this wall, replacing the current south side of Lincoln Center with an open park, community spaces, and an expansion of free artistic and civic service programs.

We are honored to be a small part of this moment in undoing Moses' legacy.

📍 Location: Amsterdam Avenue and 62nd Street

Introducing “Electrifying the Bronx,” our newest 135 ft mural at a Bronx school bus depot – 1101 Zerega Avenue – created by local artist Daniel Bonilla, known as ARTMANDAN (@artmandan) in collaboration with New York League of Conservation Voters (@nylcv).

ARTMANDAN wanted to capture the voices of students who take the bus, so he engaged with residents of NYCHA’s Castle Hill Houses. Through a series of workshops hosted at the Sonia Sotomayor Community Center, the mural's design was shaped with the vision of local stakeholders. “Electrifying the Bronx” celebrates clean, electric school buses and the vibrant communities they serve. It's a powerful reminder of how electric technologies support cleaner air, reduced pollution, and healthier neighborhoods for families. The mural is part of the project, "Electrifying School Buses in the Bronx and Beyond," developed by New York City School Bus Umbrella Services and supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority as part of the Clean Transportation Prizes program.

ARTMANDAN is a full-time artist born and raised in New York City, specializing in large-scale murals. He’s known for the bright, inviting colors that define his style. His work spans the 191 St Tunnel to the Uptown Grand Mural project in Harlem. In 2020, Bonilla won an award for his contributions to the Dyckman Collective, an initiative that creates artworks on themes of Latino identity, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and Dyckman and Washington Heights.

We're grateful to have partnered with New York League of Conservation Voters (@nylcv), New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (@nyserda) and New York City School Bus Umbrella Services (@nycsbus) to bring this mural to the Bronx!

Shout out to the staff at the Bronx Bus Depot for their kindness and the many cups of coffee shared with ARTMANDAN.

And a heartfelt thank you to @cmamandafarias for supporting this project, and being a hands-on presence in the community.

I’m so excited to share my new mural for the courtyard of the stunning new building @thevillagewestnyc on 14th and 6th. A huge thank you to @artbridge for making this project possible. It is always such a pleasure to work with their incredible team and be a part of their vision for public art in NYC.Thank you to the genius creatives at @ifstudiony for coming up with this “pressed flower” concept, which inspired me to create the translucent effects in the petals. It was such a fun mural to paint, even with the little challenge of climbing 3-story scaffolding and some cold days!Thank you to @daisyfreedmanart for her assistance and support 🌸🌸🌸

We are excited to share that next month we will install Vanesa Álvarez Díaz’s mural, “The Future We Create.” It will wrap the construction fence along Damrosch Park – Amsterdam Avenue and 62nd Street – as part of the Lincoln Center West Initiative. The Initiative is transforming the Amsterdam Avenue side of Lincoln Center’s campus into a more welcoming edge, including a new park, outdoor performance space, and open access to the campus. As a part of this mission, Lincoln Center has committed to engaging with the local community in all aspects of the process.

In partnership with ArtBridge and Lincoln Center, Vanesa held workshops with NYCHA's Amsterdam Houses residents and engaged local elementary and high school students. She also worked alongside Amsterdam Houses' resident and assistant artist, Derval Fairweather. Together, their voices, ideas, and hopes shaped a work that speaks to the rich culture and history of the neighborhood. We can’t wait to show you more, but first, introducing Vanesa Álvarez Díaz:

Vanesa is a Spanish muralist and visual artist based in Brooklyn. Inspired by art as a medium for change, her work speaks to equality, ecology, and social justice. Her large-scale murals often weave together symbols, patterns, color, and words–such as poetry and slogans. Through her studio practice, she uses wood canvases, bold colors, and architectural geometry to tell a story of motherhood, being an immigrant, and being an artist.

Her work has been selected for international competitions, such as Pinta Malasaña (Madrid Street Art Project) and adorns institutional settings like NYC Health+Hospitals and various NYC schools. Focusing on community empowerment and feminism, she has installed murals in Spain, Mexico, and New York City, and was a part of The Flag Project at Rockefeller Center. Álvarez Díaz has a degree in Art, Design and Advertising Graphics from Aula D, in Spain.

“The Future We Create,” will likely be installed in mid-April, stay tuned!

We're thrilled to share our four completed murals at NYCHA’s Harlem River Houses, by artists Marthalicia Matarrita (@marthalicia) and Paul Deo (@planetdeo). Marthalicia’s murals, “Courtyard's Embrace” and "The Macombs Bridge that Unites the Past and Present,” stand at the northern entrance to the campus, while Paul’s mural, “Portal to Infinity” (on two walls) anchors the southern end. The murals serve as entry points, welcoming the community into Harlem River.

Over 12 weeks, Marthalicia and Paul worked with residents to weave their stories into the designs. "Courtyard's Embrace" (Image 1) reflects memories shared by elders of the community–they would look out their windows, keeping an eye on the children at play. Communal care built a sense of security among neighbors, knowing younger generations were kept in sight.

"The Macombs Bridge that Unites the Past and Present" (Image 2) highlights the impact of migration on the evolution of the Harlem Renaissance and the rich cultural fabric of Harlem. The presence of the natural world reflects the relationship between the migration of humans, plants, and animals and their effect on the landscape over time.

“Portal to Infinity” (Images 3, 4, 5) celebrates community, honoring local heroes and history. One side depicts a joyous gathering inside a Harlem River apartment. Where generations unite, the wall honors the sacredness of family and strength found in collective history. On the other side, Paul depicts the exterior of Harlem River as a vibrant garden of life. Figures soar, transcending earthly limitations, portraying each person’s innate power to rise. The mural reflects the community’s boundless capacity to create, love, and heal.

An official opening for the murals and our engagement at Harlem River will take place this spring when we unveil artist Kim Dacres’ (@kim_bo915) “Fountain Keepers,” four site-specific bronze sculptures that will be installed around Harlem River’s central fountain.

This project was produced in partnership with Settlement Housing Fund (@settlementhousing), with special thanks to Eliot Hetterly.

We are thrilled to share our newest installation by artist Na'ye Perez (@naye_davinci1914) located at the NW corner of 26th St. and 10th Avenue in Chelsea. This site happens to be across from the ArtBridge office – a reminder of our work's impact near and far.

The installation presents a series of artworks by Na'ye thoughtfully arranged together to mimic the fragmentation that can occur when histories, moments of joy, and leisure are recounted. The installation asks viewers to reflect on how the essence of a community can be captured, and what it means to document its lifecycle.

Na’ye is a Cuban-Haitian-American multidisciplinary artist. Through his paintings, drawings, and socially engaged performances, he explores themes of shared experiences, identity, and accessibility. His work is shown nationally in solo and group exhibitions and he holds an MFA from Pratt Institute.

This 80-foot mural spans the construction fencing of a High Line renovation and was produced by ArtBridge with curatorial support from Welancora Gallery (@welancora). It was permitted through @nyculture @nycparks and @nycedc.

This 80-foot mural spans the construction fencing of a High Line renovation and was produced by ArtBridge with curatorial support from Welancora Gallery (@welancora). It was permitted through @nyculture @nycparks and @nycedc.

We are thrilled to share our newest installation by artist Na'ye Perez (@naye_davinci1914) located at the NW corner of 26th St. and 10th Avenue in Chelsea. This site happens to be across from the ArtBridge office – a reminder of our work's impact near and far.

The installation presents a series of artworks by Na'ye thoughtfully arranged together to mimic the fragmentation that can occur when histories, moments of joy, and leisure are recounted. The installation asks viewers to reflect on how the essence of a community can be captured, and what it means to document its lifecycle.

We are excited to share our newest installation, by artist Eirini Linardaki (@linardakiandco), titled “I See The Sky From The Other Side.” It is located in Lower Manhattan at 77 Water Street.

The work reimagines the Lower Manhattan skyline as it shifts throughout the day, paying homage to the iconic view. Eirini created the work using fabrics she collected across New York City–each carrying its own history, texture, and story.

This mural is the first unveiling from our partnership with the Downtown Alliance (@downtownnyc). Together, we curated a unique portfolio of six Lower Manhattan–specific artworks by New York City–based artists that can be easily and affordably installed on sidewalk sheds and construction fences. The initiative builds on Local Law 163 (2023), which expanded opportunities for artwork to be displayed on temporary structures during periods of construction across New York City.

Spanning 700 linear feet, the mural wraps around all four sides of 77 Water St, and is installed on the protective fencing of a 26-story building currently being redeveloped by the Vanbarton Group.
