The project, “Together We Make Change,” led by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles and the Arts Council for Long Beach, features four local artists living or working in Long Beach who are painting five boxes in the Washington neighborhood aimed to inspire local residents to engage in the community.
Using every day household products like nails and hair rollers, a team of urban planners are hoping to engage residents ahead of a city zoning update. The next workshop is Thursday.
Community leaders in the Washington neighborhood will be hosting a virtual holiday celebration on Friday and a parade-style car caravan, featuring Santa Claus, on Saturday.
“We are all going to work together to bring peace, harmony, solidarity, hope, love to our community, which we are sorely needing.”
The caravan will kick off on at 14th Street and Pacific Avenue next the Washington Middle School from 10 a.m. to noon.
