Broad Strokes: Interning at CITYarts in NYC




Even as the days get hotter our painters, James and Adam, along with the many volunteers and interns, faithfully return to the Baruch mural. Day by day the underwater scene seems to become more and more vibrant filling with sea creatures and now scuba divers! We’re also adding some people among the rolling hills – walking their dog, feeding the birds, etc. Overall the mural is becoming a very beautiful and colorful piece of work that the community seems to be embracing nicely. As children play in the surrounding playground they often come by and ask us questions about what we’re doing and seem very interested and willing to help. Even the adults from the community ask if they can help paint something.

Next week is going to be a very busy and important time for CITYarts as we add more to the mural with the many new volunteers and groups coming by to help.

Stay cool,

Catie – CITYarts intern
