Spotlight on Local businesses and community

We call this home-32nd street art installation

 in 32nd Street Lifestyle, 32nd Street Revitalization Project

Local Phoenix artist, Ann Morton, was selected by the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture to create a public art installation through community engagement that captures the vibrant community of 32nd street from Shea to Bell Road.  Ann is an emerging artist who had a long professional career as a successful graphic designer.  She has a Master of Fine Arts degree and is a practicing artist and educator.

To begin the 32nd street project she surveyed community members and an underlying theme of love, mountains and a feeling of home emerged.  Gaining inspiration through community voices she has presented the following interpretation.

Look for your opportunity to participate in the art installation coming soon.

2016 Crusin’ with Councilman Gates was awesome!

 in 32nd Street Lifestyle

The North 32nd Street “Sheaborhood” had a great time at the 4th Annual Crusin’ with Councilman Gates bike event.

This great neighborhood event offered community booths, bike safety tips, free helmets for the kiddos, raffle prizes and lots more. The free event offered people a chance to get to know one another as well as learn more about the neighboring businesses.  Basha’s provided free donuts, fruit and water. 32 Shea offered lots of great coffee!

This Crusin’ Bike event was bittersweet as it was the last bike ride with Phoenix City Councilman Gates as he steps down out of office.
