Positive Street Art, a cultural fixture in the City of Nashua for more than a decade, opened its new headquarters earlier this spring. The 2,000-square-foot location located at 48 Bridge St. is on the third floor.

For 10 years, Positive Street Art has been a community leader in creative placemaking through public art, programs and events. With the new larger headquarters, Positive Street Art will be expanding all of its programming and intentionally establishing safe spaces for creative individuals of all kinds.

The new headquarters will allow Positive Street Art’s founders, Cecilia Ulibarri, president and co-founder, and Manny Ramirez, artist in residence and co-founder, to continue their journey that began in 2011. Back then they discovered that Nashua wanted a community arts organization, and they saw the opportunity to make it happen. They and other artists created their first mural that depicted the face of an organization that stood for positivity and artistic expression comprised of words juxtaposed carefully to illustrate a beautiful face.

Through continued education and community outreach, Positive Street Art inspired a newfound love for urban art in Nashua. Their outdoor murals that are displayed on so many buildings in the Gate City are simply breathtaking.
