We transform broken LA sidewalk panels into vibrant public art, designed and built by neighborhood kids working alongside professional teaching artists and licensed concrete crews.
Thousands of miles of damaged sidewalks across Los Angeles create daily hazards for seniors, people with mobility challenges, and families with strollers. The repair backlog is measured in years, not months.
A simple, community-driven process that turns broken sidewalk panels into lasting neighborhood treasures.
Residents photograph damaged sidewalk panels through our mobile app, automatically capturing location.
The neighborhood votes on which damaged panels matter most. The top-voted panel wins each month.
A licensed crew fixes the panel. Then neighborhood kids and a teaching artist design and build a mosaic.
We document the before and after, celebrate the young artists, and move to the next panel.
Safer sidewalks, especially for seniors and people with limited mobility. A single repaired panel removes a tripping hazard that may have existed for years.
Hands-on public art experience, civic pride, and a visible contribution to their neighborhood. Kids gain skills in design, teamwork, and public collaboration.
Sponsored panels carry their logo and social visibility. Permanent public recognition on a mosaic panel, professional photography, and social media content.
Starting in the Fairfax/Mid-City West neighborhood, near Blackburn and Melrose.
Completed across 10 months in our pilot neighborhood, each one a small public art piece where a hazard used to be.
Total pilot budget. $2,700 per panel covers concrete repair, mosaic materials, teaching artist stipend, and city permit.
Neighborhood kids engaged in public art creation, building civic pride and hands-on creative skills.
Photos are illustrative examples of the hazards we repair and the mosaic style we create. Actual pilot photos will be added once the first panels are complete.
Every cracked panel here is a chance to make the city safer and more beautiful at the same time. We are starting in Fairfax / Mid-City West, but the model works anywhere neighbors care about their streets.
We are seeking grant partners, corporate sponsors, and community supporters for our first 10 panels. Every dollar funds concrete, tile, or a stipend for a teaching artist.
