PS/MS 34: "Xpress" by Toofly

Thrive Collective’s first “Dream Walls” murals happened as a fun, one-off project at PS/MS 34 in the Lower East Side in 2007. Within three years, the school received an A-rating and academic improvements coincided with completion of the public art that inspired students to pursue their dreams.  Later, the impact inspired a movement citywide.
