Community Mural Design
Uncover Church Avenue is a public art competition coordinated by the Church Avenue Business Improvement District. The winning designs will be installed on commercial gates along Church Avenue. The public has an opportunity to vote by picking up a brochure of the submitted designs and casting a ballot for the best design for each of five participating businesses.
The submission includes a design for each of the five businesses (two for Iglesia Pentecostal) around the common theme of “Church Avenue is Alive!,” using stylized icons of native Brooklyn wildlife in bold patterns and colors to illustrate the vibrant and bustling character of the Church Avenue BID.
