Mural to be painted outside Sunset Park school to raise awareness of mental health services
Using art to raise awareness of mental health issues and to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene will be installing a new mural on the face of P.S. 24 in Sunset Park, one of two being created as part of the NYC Mural Arts Project.
Approximately 3,000 square feet in size, the mural will be painted by members of the community at the school, 427 38th St., on Sat., May 4.
Entitled “Feeling All Four Seasons, Bridging All Four Seasons,” the concept for the mural was designed by artist Julia Cocuzza and members of Baltic Street, AEH, Inc., a peer-run not-for-profit corporation dedicated to improving the quality of life for people living with mental illness.
