Two hundred volunteers joined us to beautify University Avenue in City Heights. In partnership with the City Heights Business Improvement District and Maintenance Assessment District, Beautify the Block revitalized one of our neighborhood’s busiest corridors. 

With the support of artist and designer, Josue Baltezar and his team, youth artists in City Heights led and created a collaborative mural for the community space.

Community art belongs to the you, the community, and we can’t wait to see these young artists showcase their collaborative mural project made especially with our beloved neighbors and City Heights community in mind.

Do you have a connection with visual art and hope to develop your artistic and professional skills? Are you a current high school student or recently graduated from a local City Heights campus? If this sounds like you, our upcoming youth-led mural project at Tierra Central, Piece X Piece, is for you!

The dedication event was a beautiful reminder of all that goes into enhancing the quality of life in our community. Some projects take years of red tape, advocacy, and community planning to come to fruition, and this mural was no exception.

Come join your neighbors in hearing the mural's history and how it came to be. See the flyer above for more info, then check out the mural photos below!
