Community Heroes

Community Heroes is a community organizing and public art project celebrating the everyday heroes of our neighborhoods, with a focus on historic residents who have faithfully strengthened and supported their community. Local artists are commissioned to document these stories, and to create a public art exhibition in the neighborhood.

Proudly supported by Partnerships for Parks and PhotoWings.
