The World Cup may be over, but in some ways the soccer tournament is still being celebrated in the city.<\/p>\n
Work continues in August on some World Cup murals. There are 12 murals located in parks in all five boroughs.<\/p>\n
Some murals are completed; others are still being painted. The initiative launched last month with several city agencies and the nonprofit Groundswell.<\/p>\n
The group brings together youth, artists and community organizations to use art as a tool for social change. The executive director, Yvonne Brathwaite, spoke with NY1’s Rocco Vertuccio on “Weekends on 1.”<\/p>\n
