The Shine a Light on Flatbush Project

Over the coming months, the Church-Flatbush Community Alliance will be bringing creative lighting and community events to the areas near the Church Ave. B/Q subway station on E. 18th St. The direction for this project developed from community feedback, ideas, and images. This initiative is made possible thanks to the Public Realm Grant from the NYC Department of Small Business Services.

The main sections of this public art project include:

  • Community mural of photos submitted by Flatbush residents
  • “Sugar cane” lighting
  • Translucent vinyl window treatments on the building facing the station’s Church Ave. entrance

Photos being accepted for the mural until April 17, 2026 of your favorite Flatbush Memory, Corner, or Person. Submit yours today!
