Local artists transform storm drains on Lake Avenue in Asbury Park to promote clean water initiatives
Presented by a collaboration between the Asbury Park Arts Council, City and Wesley Lake Commission
ASBURY PARK, NJ — In collaboration with the City of Asbury Park and with the support of the Wesley Lake Commission, the Asbury Park Arts Council commissioned artists Porkchop and Bradley Hoffer to beautify two storm drains on Lake Avenue to help bring attention to keeping trash and debris out of the lake.
Lake Avenue was selected for this demonstration project due to its high volume of pedestrian traffic. The designs feature an aquatic theme.
“These are two artists we’ve worked with before that we knew could complete this project really well,” said Carrie Turner, Executive Director of the Asbury Park Arts Council.

“This is another creative way to inject art into Asbury Park’s landscape,” Turner noted, adding, “It has the dual purpose of being beautiful, but also drawing attention to a real need of keeping litter out of our lakes.”
Did you know that the city has an Adopt-a-Drain program where community members can sign up to volunteer to keep a storm drain in their neighborhood clear of trash to help keep Monmouth County’s waterways clean?
