Black Lives Matter mural, Day 1, is a wrap. Friday morning touch ups and detailing, then redeploy #ThriveCollective team to assist other letters. Join us 8am. What a gift to help bring @artoftijay’s artistic vision to life, and work next letter to @crashone and @orrdesigns. Walk all three blocks in our story. #BlackLivesMatter #KindnessBeatsTheVirus #WeAreThrive #BringArtBack #CreateWithUs @nycyouth @nycyouth @nyculture @nycschools @galeabrewer @nyccouncil @nycmayor @tatscru @wxystudio @artoftijay
