GCDS Student Creates Inspiring Mural For Building One Community

GREENWICH, CT — Building One Community (B1C) proudly announces that Logan O'Neill, a graduating senior at Greenwich Country Day School (GCDS) and gifted artist, has successfully created and installed a mural at B1C, the Center for Immigrant Opportunity. Through his end-of-year internship, Logan’s incredible talent and passion for street graffiti art have culminated in a permanent piece that embodies B1C’s mission and values.

Over the course of his internship, Logan collaborated closely with B1C staff to ensure that the mural would accurately represent the spirit of B1C’s mission to advance the successful integration of immigrants and their families with a focus on programs that —Educate, Employ, Empower, and Engage. Logan’s work not only highlights these values but also incorporates themes of diversity and inclusion, embodying what B1C stands for.

“I'm so excited that I got to work on this super meaningful project! It pushed me creatively and let me use my artistic style to match B1C's vision. Having the freedom to do my thing was empowering and made me even more passionate about art and its impact," said Logan O’Neill.

The mural was meticulously crafted in Logan's garage, where he spent countless hours bringing his vision to life. The pieces were later transported and installed at B1C’s main location in Shippan, providing a vibrant, meaningful addition to their space.

"We were thrilled to have such a talented student intern with us to produce this fantastic mural that really showcases who we are in a modern, cool manner. Thank you to Greenwich Country Day School for giving us the opportunity to create this internship. A big thank you to Logan for his incredible dedication to this project," said Elena Perez, Executive Director from Building One Community.

This unique collaboration between Greenwich Country Day School and B1C serves as a powerful example of how art and community service can intersect to create lasting impact. Logan O'Neill’s mural will stand as a symbol of unity and inclusivity for years to come.
