New Mural at P4 Queens at Skillman


On Monday, August 28, we unveiled our latest art project, “Las Estrellas Briallarán,” at the P4 Skillman school (24-30 Skillman Ave). Created by artist Lina Montoya, the mural leverages 15,000 tiles zip-tied to the school’s outer fence to depict an enchanting cityscape representing LIC’s thriving community.


Thank you to artist Lina Montoya, P4 Skillman Assistant Principal Stephen Reese and Boyce Technologies' Tom Powell for joining LIC Partnership President Laura Rothrock and staff in celebrating the mural's completion. Thank you to LIC-based urban manufacturer Boyce Technologies for fabricating and donating the tiles, and to the over 40 volunteers who helped to assemble the project, including those from our sponsors and partners: JetBlue, Tishman Speyer and LaGuardia Community College.
