Arts On The Avenue Interactive Map The BID has embarked on a multi-year project to bring more arts and cultural programming to the community.

IG: @carlisimaultra Carla Torres 7418 5th Avenue "I consider myself an urban landscape artist. I love to draw. I also love to paint but every painting begins with a line drawing I fill in like my own personal coloring book. I work from my own photographs for reference since my work is very detailed. I have a wonky sense of perspective that gives my landscapes an off kilter appeal. Color and pattern are predominate in my work. I use text often to add a humorous perspective to everyday street scenes."
