This Could Be a Mobile Learning Corridor Market

"The Mobile Market will support a “Learning Corridor Market,” by supplying affordable produce, training local residents to staff the farmstand, and otherwise complementing community building activities in Newhallville’s Learning Corridor, in partnership and under the leadership of Doreen Abubakar, head of the Community Placemaking Network. Ms. Abubakar’s work on the Corridor in Newhallville - developing a space for local entrepreneurs to grow their businesses, community members to gather and learn skills, and for people to gain access to healthy food options, led her to ask for Common Ground’s partnership in this project.

This Could Be a Better Gateway

"Town Green District would like to sponsor revitalization efforts at the intersection at State and Chapel Street in order to promote walkability and connectivity between two key New Haven neighborhoods. The project includes repainting of bridge railings, landscaping enhancements, and a sculptural gateway over Chapel Street. The gateway is envisioned as a piece of public art, developed by local art studio Atelier Cue, in close partnership with community and stakeholder groups in both Ninth and Wooster Squares. The final design of the gateway, as well as the naming of the project, will be realized through a collaborative visioning process led by Atelier Cue. "

This Could Be a Mural

"Liberate yourself and your fellow countrymen" is the title of a series of four murals that bring the city of New Haven’s history, culture and quest for freedom and education together. Using designs that have multi-cultural resonance, the murals will pay tribute to the building and city’s history. The murals will radiate vibrant color and energy to reflect the drive, passion and flavor of life in New Haven. "

A Mural

"Site Projects is pleased to announce our commission of an original and enormous mural in the Ninth Square by Uruguayan street artist David dela Mano. Internationally-renown, the artist’s iconic work is boldly graphic, at once figurative and abstract. Painted only with the color black, his images suggest shadows, silhouettes or puppets from folk tales, comics or science fiction about living beings and creatures living in imaginary times. Both adults and children will appreciate the artwork’s fanciful, humorous and/or profound meanings. Opportunities to observe the artwork in-progress and speak with the artist will be facilitated by lectures and a block party. "
