BROOKLYN,N.Y., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist Charlie Hewitt, originally created an art project, "Hopeful," to inspire optimism for Americans coping with political polarization and pandemic stress.  Giant sculptures and billboards began to appear in the Northeast, first in Maine, and subsequently displayed on buildings, highways, storefronts, and subway stations in the Northeast. Recently, "Hopeful" has taken on new meaning; last month Hewitt added six digital hopeful billboards to Bronx subway stations after receiving an Instagram direct message from a Bronx resident saying that her home borough needed "Hopeful"   with the goal of spreading positivity.
