“The support and generosity of im体育平台属性 played a vital role in making this event possible.” Said Artist William Stoehr. “珍珠街, known for its high traffic, offers a prominent platform to not only raise awareness and increase understanding about substance use disorder, but also highlight the diverse individuals affected by this condition, serving as a reminder that they are not alone in their struggles.”
去年年底, Unico began their efforts to revitalize the East End 区 through public art by collaborating with local artist Austin Zucchini-Fowler and Street Wise Boulder’s 2022 ARTivism Mural Festival. 绿色和谐, the mural created by Austin to celebrate Boulder’s art scene and commitment to sustainability, came to life in the pedestrian alley on the 1400 block of Boulder’s 珍珠街 Mall. Through these efforts, the well-trafficked pedestrian thru-way is now activated to create a safer, more welcoming experience for those who travel through the alleyway.
This initiative aligns with the 博尔德市区 Partnership’s vision for the East End to be a 区 for creative spirits, foodies, adventure seekers, and trend-setters. While the area draws tourists, it’s heavily trafficked each day by Boulder locals. 博尔德市区 sees 8 to 10 visits every 90 days by 53 percent of area residents.
