Tied to a city-led initiative to improve the streetscape and create an environment that is safe, convenient and comfortable for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, these public art projects in the Quincy Street Corridor and Grove Hall Business District of Dorchester celebrate the beauty of the neighborhood, local heroes and current residents. The City of Boston commissioned Street Theory, an award-winning creative agency that activates communities, spaces, and global brands through street-art, experiential marketing, cultural placemaking, branding and design, to carry out the project.

Robert 'Problak' Gibbs created a mural entitled "Afro Futurism/ Breathe Life." The design of the mural gives a nod to the past in order to breathe life into the future. The juxtaposition of an older pastime with youthful and futuristic imagery relates to the community's objective to revitalize the neighborhood while embracing and strengthening its past, present, and future identity and sense of place. The mural is located at the UCERM Empowerment Center at 324 Blue Hill Ave.

David 'Don Rimx' Sepulveda created a mural inspired by the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Nelson Mandela. Widely known and regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice, "Don Remix" hope is for Nelson Mandela's image to inspire all people - young and old and of all ethnicities, to actively seek knowledge, truth, and civic engagement as they visit the Grove Hall Public Library, drive past down Geneva Avenue, or make their way to the Jeremiah Burke High School. The mural is located at 41 Geneva Ave.

Victor "MARKA27" Quiñonez created a mural entitled "Love Thyself" on the entire side wall exterior of a three-story apartment building at 199 Quincy Street.
