We have a winner for the BLVD Arts Project!

Each of the artists did an amazing mural. However we can only have one winner.

Out of over 2,300 votes, Gino Gaspara’s “The Real Hollywood” received 831, which makes him the final winner of the BLVD Arts Project.

“I chose Hollywood Boulevard because there is so much entertainment and diversity there. I love seeing the people and their different cultures. My drawing features people from everyday life on the Boulevard from the movie characters to the hotdog cart lady.” – Gino Gaspara
