CITYarts Hamilton Playground-Making a Difference Through the Arts

How CITYarts Transformed Alexander Hamilton Playground with Community Youth and Artist Hugo Bastidas: Following in the Footsteps of Alexander Hamilton was a 3-year long mural project in Harlem, NY (138th and Hamilton Pl.). These three 80'H x 25'W Murals celebrate the unique community identity of Hamilton Heights, where Hamilton lived, and inspire our youth to follow in his footsteps. CITYarts Mission: Educate. Empower. Transform. CITYarts engages youth with professional artists in the creation of public art, including murals and mosaic. Through this creative process, CITYarts empowers, educates, and connects youth and children locally and around the world to become active participants in realizing their potential and transforming communities.
