Week 6: July 5 – July 10 (Weekend Edition)

I hope some of you were able to make it up to Spanish Harlem on Wednesday for the unveiling of the new Mural SOLDADERAS at the Modesto Flores Garden. If you missed the big event you can still stop by and check it out the work as you make your way to visit Art for Change or the El Museo del Barrio. . .

Reminder: We’re doubling down on our June gamble as we try and raise $1,000 by July 30th, to support Art for Change so lets dig deep, spread the word and see if we can make a little magic happen.
