Coney Island Seniors Create Mural To Heal From Superstorm Sandy
Members of JASA Senior Alliance Senior Center (a leading non-profit agency serving older adults in the New York metropolitan area) and The Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island brought together Coney Island seniors in an unveiling of The Hurricane Sandy Relief Tile Mural Project.
As the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy arrived on Oct. 29, New Yorkers have continued to find unique ways to heal from traumatic effects of the storm. One community of seniors in Coney Island has harnessed the power of art therapy to create a mural symbolizing the reconstruction of the Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Coney Island and Seagate Communities in an effort to transform pain and loss into a poignant display of beauty.
