Atlantic City Arts Foundation

Ending 24 hours in Atlantic City with even more good deed doers Atlantic City Arts Foundation and Evan Sanchez and Monica Casiello.

Last month I activated my passion for restorative art making by contributing to a new public art initiative via the Hydrangea Trail 2.0 project along the Atlantic City, NJ inlet. I was one of many artists who adorned their talents along planters that will be on display throughout the inlet. Why a blue jay? This bird reminds me the importance of being steadfast in protecting your environment. At times it may appear to be aggressive, yet in reality it has an ability to keep its ecosystem at bay and restores order and peace. Love me my blue jays Thank you to Atlantic City Arts Foundation and the City of Atlantic City for the opportunity. 🤍💙

It’s been a very artsy week at MW Atlantic City! Atlantic City Arts Foundation came by to paint murals with our #Mighty students. We can’t wait to see their artwork around the city! Bonus pictures at the end— our steps got a chalk makeover! #atlanticcity | #art | #muralart | #kidart | #mightywriters
