Thanks to a DRI Initiative, the three vibrant town centers of “Downtown Staten Island” (St. George, Tompkinsville and Stapleton) will soon be even better linked together through the creation of a North Shore Art Trail.

This public art program through which proposals will be brought to life along the Bay Street corridor, will help knit together disparate areas of downtown and beautify key sites along both the corridor and the waterfront.  The Trail will include outdoor installations focused on Bay Street, Front Street, and side streets connecting those main streets to the waterfront greenway. The program will include art installed on the walls of buildings, in small open areas and a variety of unique spaces. The various mediums will include murals, street painting, commissioned sculptures, digital art, and significant permanent installations, among others, with a focus on sustainability and the environment.
