WEST ORANGE, NJ - Elijah Minton, aka "The Art Alchemist," a West Orange High School graduate and up-and-coming urban artist, partnered with West Orange High School AP Art students and the  Nikhil Badlani Foundation to design "Hope," a street mural to slow down traffic near Hazel Elementary School. The paint was donated by Sherwin Williams.

The community was invited to join in and paint the street mural along with Minton and the art students on April 30. Under sunny skies, the community came together to support traffic safety awareness and enjoy the afternoon together.
