Beautification

The Beautification of Boone Avenue is a group of local volunteers taking the initiative to sweep, clean and dispose properly of all refuse. The Boone Avenue Project allows talented artists from around the world to create art embraced by all people. The impact upon the community is almost immediately welcomed with warm compliments and more importantly brings joy and pride. We truly believe this festival helps provide the tools the community needs to boldly take action, providing them with responsibility of their Bronx communities and beyond.
