Dream Craft Mural Wall with MetroCraft Kicks Off

On September 13, installation began on our latest project. A collaboration with the local community art space Metro Craft, which is located in Crown Heights. The mural wall is across the street from the iconic space at 989 Pacific Street.

The metal wall, which has been described by residents of the block as a longtime eyesore, is being beautified by the work of nine emerging artists. Each artist is allotted a 8’x8’ square of the wall to create a mural based on the theme Dream Craft; dreaming and crafting and what those concepts mean to the individual artists.

The participating artists are:

Apollo Flowerchild

Moon Frankenstein

Avani Patel

Arielle Hanoch

Nicole Bowden

James Wolf

Caitlin Eder

Kate Sammer

Vic Ingram

The mural will be unveiled in a special event on October 13, featuring a mural walk in front of the wall during which each artist will have an opportunity to speak on their work and answer questions. Check out our events page for more information about the unveiling.
