Wrap Around Printed Vinyl Banner
2007
Lead Artist: Christopher Cardinale
Community Partner: UPROSE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Groundswell artist Christopher Cardinale worked with youth from UPROSE (United Puerto Rican Organization of Sunset Park) to develop designs for wrap around vinyl banners to be adhered to four hybrid shuttle buses previously purchased through UPROSE's Pollution Reduction Projects for use by and throughout the community.
The bus designs feature images related to concerns about air pollution affecting the community. The image concepts were developed with the youth and in conjunction with UPROSE's clean air partners: the Al-Noor School, the Chinese-American Planning Council, and the Marien Heim Senior Center.
