LOS ANGELES, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpine LA Properties, a property management company that offers affordable, newly remodeled housing across Los Angeles, hosted a community mural painting and food fair, in partnership with Inclusive Action for the City, for Boyle Heights and Koreatown residents. The event provided community members a creative space to celebrate the city's diverse culture and flavors.
“Today, a blank wall became a vibrant mural, a shared meal became a way to connect, and a celebration of local culture became a bond between neighbors,” said Michael Kadisha, principal of K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties. “At the heart of every Alpine property is a commitment to designing spaces where residents feel rooted, supported, and proud of the place they call home.”
As part of the community mural painting day, Alpine partnered with Inclusive Action for the City’s “Hire a Vendor Program”, an initiative designed to help street vendors grow their business through training and connecting them to catering opportunities.
Two local vendors from the program —Robert Serrano from Frutas La Chipositia and Maria Rojas from Tamales Rojas—provided attendees with fresh fruit cups, raspados, esquites, and homemade tamales.
“Events like this remind us that our food and our culture bring people together and make our neighborhoods stronger,” said Rojas. “Through Inclusive Action, I’ve learned how to price my food, present my business professionally, and take on new catering opportunities I never thought possible. It means so much to share my tamales with the community.”
The event also offered a hands-on opportunity for residents and neighbors to collaborate with a professional muralist, Kenyan Armitage, on a new mural on one of Alpine’s buildings.
“Painting at Alpine Properties was such a special and memorable experience,” said Armitage. Every mural I create is a labor of love, but what makes it truly meaningful is feeling the community’s appreciation in return. During those long days in the sun, there was no shortage of cold drinks, snacks, and warm company to keep me going. I made new friends, shared conversations that mattered, and felt deeply connected to the people around me. That connection is what inspires me most—it’s why I love painting murals and why I’ll always cherish moments like this one.”
