In Spring 2024, the Arts Office of the NYC Department of Education selected Thrive Collective and our partners Projectivity and JM Custom Studios, to makeover three public school basketball courts in The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

This schoolyard basketball court mural at Bronx High School for Visual Arts, was designed by iconic artists and longtime Thrive collaborators Crash and Daze. The design includes the school’s bear mascot and interprets its motto: “In everything we DO, we PROSPER.” The PROSPER acronym reflects the school’s core values: Perseverance, Responsibility, Ownership (If it’s to be, it’s up to me!), Service (Leave the world better than you found it.), Perspective, Elevate, and Reflection.
