The City of Camden, New Jersey received a $1 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge to clean up blighted areas around its transit corridors and recreate them as showcases for public art. “A New View—Camden” transformed six illegal dumping sites in Camden into dynamic art spaces, inspiring residents and visitors to take “a new view” of the city invincible.

This grant allowed the city and its partners to use the power and creativity of art and artists to address a public issue. The leadership team, with members from the City of Camden, Camden Community Partnership, Camden Fireworks and the Rutgers—Camden Center for the Arts, designed a strategy to address Camden’s illegal dumping problem and help change the often-negative perception of the city. Temporary art installations across the city invited the community to imagine a more beautiful, innovative, and healthier future.
