Bay Ridge artist displays World Pride piece at Macy’s in Manhattan
It’s a miracle on 34th Street for a Bay Ridge artist.
Local Jenna Morello has been painting murals and pieces of all sizes around the neighborhood for several years. As her reach has expanded to different states and countries, she was selected to have one of her pieces displayed at a window at Macy’s in Manhattan, the largest department store in the United States, in celebration of World Pride NYC and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
Morello received the opportunity through the LISA project, a mural collective based in Little Italy. LISA was doing a number of murals around the city ahead of pride, and asked Morello to create one of their four Macy’s window displays.
