Artist Theresa Rivera Brings Color To The Meatpacking District

in

Upon the mandate for non-essenital businesses to close, the city had a sudden wave of retailers boarding up their storefronts. Specifically, the Meatpacking District first saw this with Sephora. The visual of boarded up store fronts only furthered the sadness that the city and world was currently facing, so to make a little lemonade out of it and put a smile on faces of those passing by, the BID’s Executive Director, Jeffrey LeFrancois recruited local artist Theresa Rivera to bring something beautiful to the neighborhood.

Since the completion of the mural outside of Sephora, Christian Louboutin and Arhaus have also boarded up their windows. To continue bringing some positivity and art into the neighborhood, Jeffrey went back to Theresa and commissioned her to make art out of the boarded up windows at both Louboutin and Arhaus. Louboutin and Arhaus are now completed.
