Seen during the arts festival

The Yonkers Arts Weekend festival took place on May 21. The annual event was launched in 2014 and is credited with helping create an arts district in Yonkers. Several galleries have opened and dozens of local and international renowned muralists and artists have contributed to the revival of the downtown.
