A Dull Wall Turns Bright, Thanks to Community Grant
The Twitter hashtag #PeaceInTheStreets now lives in Bedford Park, thanks to a new mural painted on 202nd Street and Briggs Avenue, across from PS 8. After receiving a grant in May for $1,250 from Citizens Committee for New York to paint the graffiti-tatted wall, Samelys Lopez gathered a team of artists to follow through with a mural. Teammates included Lady K Fever and Laura James from Bronx 200, and a group showcasing selections of artwork by 200 artists around the Bronx. Other artists with colorful names can be seen on the wall. Those include: TKid, CES, King Bee, Andre Trenier, Lizzy Alejandro, Trike,
