HEArts Center Healing Festival
Saturday, October 5th @ Willis Playground
Thank you to everyone who came to our HEArts Center Festival. We are turning our community's vision for the former Lincoln Recovery Center into reality by creating a people’s center focused on holistic health, education, and the arts: HEArts Center. Community healing was at the heart of the festival. We danced to UpBeat NYC’s live saxophones, enjoyed delicious food provided by Unconditional Freedom, skateboarded and rollerbladed with GoSports, and restored our energy with Qi Zone Wellness holistic practices. Lastly, we are grateful to OnPoint NYC for co-organizing this beautiful event with us.
Clean Air Community Convening
Tuesday, September 24 @ 127 Lincoln Ave
Thank you to everyone who joined us for an engaging and insightful Clean Air Community Convening! We had meaningful open discussions about how air quality impacts each of us, and learning from the community is just as important as the data we're collecting. Your feedback through our activity will help shape and improve our project. We hope you stay involved in our clean air advocacy efforts and join us at our next convening to learn more about the latest air quality updates in our community.
End-of-Summer Waterfront BBQ!
Saturday, September 7 @ 56 Lincoln Ave
Another powerful event this year as we continue reclaiming the waterfront! We had the best time bringing our community back to #ourwaterfront this month for an end-of-summer BBQ next to the Lincoln Ave Street End, one of the few direct access points to the our peninsula's waterfront. Seeing kids' smiles, parents taking pictures of the river, people relaxing and enjoying the music were priceless and a powerful reminder of the urgency to advance the community-envisioned Mott Haven - Port Morris WaterFront Plan Thanks to all community members who joined and to A House on Beekman, Korean Art Forum and NYC DSA for contributing to the success of this event.
Bronx Food and Farm Tours

South Bronx Waterfront Community Envision Sessions
Saturday, April 3 & May 11
Thank you to all community members who participated in our Waterfront Community Envision sessions. Your invaluable feedback will directly support our $20 million EPA Community Change Grant application. We gained valuable insights on how to activate two key locations on the Mott Haven-Port Morris Waterfront: the southern end of Lincoln Ave and the eastern end of E 132nd St., which will be crucial in preparing a strong application to bring these sites to life.
Earth Day Celebration & Art Installation

On April 27th, we celebrated Earth Day with community members and local artist Leslie Lopez, gathering at the southern end of Lincoln Ave to reclaim a difficult-to-access public space.
