This Saturday, Marvel at Church Ave's New Murals

Church Avenue is about to get a little brighter.

On Saturday, join your neighbors at the Church Avenue Business Improvement District's Community Block Party, and celebrate the completion of a collection of murals meant to beautify the formerly drab streetscape.

The project—actually a contest hosted by Uncover Church Avenue—has been several months in the making, with more than 50 artists vying for the chance to make their mark along Church Avenue's facade.

Winners were voted on by the public, and the following artists were chosen to design the front gates of five Church Avenue businesses: 

• Bruce Zeines for Bonnie Youth Club (1221 Church Avenue)
• Rudjessy Secours for Richie Rich (1219 Church Avenue)
• Sherry Ginsberg Davis for Iglesia Pentecostal (1115 Church Avenue)
• Nu for Children’s Corner (1101 Church Avenue)
• Catherine Rutgers for Drive Time Radio (1111 Church Avenue)

The party will be held at El Acquario, located at 1217 Church Ave., from 1 to 3 p.m.
