Celebrating the animation of 23rd Street
Mike Holzhower of Southeast Diesel had a dream of beautifying his neighborhood and contributing to 23rd St. His visions have already inspired other local establishments to jump on board with his forward thinking of transforming 23rd St.
As such, he reached out to Mark Making and now his dream is becoming a reality. Mark Making sees it like a quilt, using art to weave the community together. Project "Diesel Tank 1907", is just the beginning of transforming this neighborhood.
Mike had a flag theme picked out for the tank and Mark, excited to get to work, hosted workshops for participants from AIM Center and the GLAD program from New City Fellowship to design paper compositions for the soon to be painted tank.
A composition from AIM Center member Rodrick McGee was selected for the design and several local artists quickly began meeting to begin the transfer of the design to the tank.
The lead artist was Rodrick McGee and other painters came from Southern Diesel, New City Fellowship Church, and the AIM Center; including Mark Making, who funded the work.
