During this past summer program
BUGS students worked on beautifying the raised garden beds in the front of the
East Harbor Campus. The process was successful with the help of Morgan Stanley volunteers.
The volunteers helped to sand and prime the flower for the students to paint
their designs.
Throughout the summer the students worked on designs
inspired by the landscape around the campus and their imaginations. We even
took a few design trips on the water taxi to the Under Armor factory for
inspiration.
During the last week of camp BUGS students got to work with
Guest artist Alexis Mena. Alexis is a muralist, visual artist and teaching
artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Mena and the students collaborated
to bring the designs to life on the bed.
