This weekend, 36 children from North Oak Cliff elementary schools (Kahn, Peabody, Rosemont, Winnetka) set to work on multiple 24″x24″ art pieces that will be combined together for a single mural on the back of a local business along Seventh Street. Go Oak Cliff, a new area news and advocacy non-profit founded by BFOC’ers to raise funds for local improvement projects in Historic Oak Cliff, organized the project to help build community and beautify an area of Seventh Street that is regularly defaced by graffiti taggers. Rosemont art teacher Stacy Cianciulli, and art gallery owner Steve Cruz, coordinated the artists and helped prepare the materials and logistics.

In the coming weeks, other area muralists will complete a total of eleven murals along the corridor, most of which will officially be unveiled at the second annual Oak Cliff Art Crawl on April 10th and 11th.
