In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, a New Jersey artist wanted to highlight the rebuilding efforts following the storm.

This is where Asbury Park’s Wooden Walls Project came in.

"There were structures that would need reinforcement after the hurricane, they would put wooden walls up,” says creator Jenn Hampton. "We could put art on them and then that would create an engagement that would not make people think about the sadness of Sandy, but the hopefulness of rebuilding."

There are murals and other creative works displayed all over the Asbury Park Boardwalk because of this project. The art comes from hand-picked artists around the world.

“One is an artist, her name is ONEQ and she came here from Japan,” Hampton says.

The project also features art from local artists.

“I have some 20 murals here in Asbury,” says artist Porkchop. “Creating stuff, then I'm at peace...that's my happy place."

Hampton created the project four years ago.

"We provide you with this opportunity to think and engage - be sort of transformed,” she says.
