The 12C Outdoor Gallery has been coming back to life with the help of some local students.
... and the final product...
The mural is a collaboration led by artists Savannah Zambrano and Andrea Amanda with students at P.S. 188 The Island School ... with the support of Loisaida Inc., Galinsky Coaching, Thrive Collective, Curated Concepts LLC, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
Earlier this month, several artists, parents, and grammar school students went to work on a new mural on the corner of 12th Street and Avenue C.
The piece is titled: "With Love from the LES to the Caribbean: In Memory of Jean-Michel Basquiat."
In early March, Brooklyn-based artist Danielle Mastrion finished the first mural outside the renovated building, paying tribute to Puerto Rican freedom fighter and spiritual luminary Pedro Albizu Campos. (Campos Plaza is directly across 12th Street.)
The 12C Outdoor Art Gallery previously featured a rotating batch of murals curated by Robert Galinsky. One constant throughout the years was the Gil Scott-Heron tribute that Chico created after the jazz poet, musician, and author died in 2011.
