There was tremendous community interest and involvement - and lots of entertainment and great food.Ĭongratulations! It is all so amazing! And the art is wonderful. In addition to the Newark-based artists The Artchitectz, others from out-of-town - such as Dojo and Repo - joined us. What a great concept! How many artists participated in this year’s Paint for Pink event? Since July, in fact, we have been working with the Rutgers School of Nursing and Newark Tech High School’s Teal Center in establishing the LIT (Learning, Inspiring Teaching) Program with the mission of teaching Newark Tech High School kids how to teach other kids about health issues. Its mission is to create and spread awareness of breast cancer and other health-related issues. The Rutgers Community Health Center brought a mobile van and gave free exams. What is the particular mission of this event - Paint for Pink? Lisa died in December, and in these past few months we took a dead stadium and put life into it. It has been a year of expansion for us working in partnership with Ironboundpresident Mike Steadman, along with the City of Newark. And visions of events - such as this one - that could take place here. That’s quite a feat! How did you manage to do that? And then in May, we got permission to clean it up. There was trash everywhere - broken bottles, litter, rubbish of every type. What was once a 4,500-seat concrete bleacher stadium was shut down and abandoned in 1987. What an amazing site this is! Can you tell us a bit about it? The plugin is customizable (see :help scrollview-configuration). I recently met up with Gary at Ironbound‘s new site, a huge - once abandoned stadium - at 226 Rome Street in Newark, NJ, the home of this year’s Paint for Pink. nvim-scrollview is a Neovim plugin that displays interactive vertical scrollbars. Gary Bloore has continued the tradition of Paint for Pinkin Lisa’s memory. After years of fighting the disease, Lisa passed on December 8 th, 2016. In 2015 Ironbound founder Gary Bloore started Paint for Pink when his partner, Lisa Byron, was battling breast cancer.
