As we reported on Friday, the newish landlord here has decided not to paint over the 13-year-old "Liberty" mural here created by the UK artist STIK.
A rep told EVG's Stacie Joy that the landlord was surprised by the outpouring of support for the 13-year-old, four-floor-tall artwork.
"The importance to the community is what did it," the rep said. "We will paint around it in some form."
We asked the landlord whether the background around the mural will remain as is or if there are plans to frame it. We'll see what they say.

Nice color for the rest of the building. Should keep the residents toasty warm this summer.
When I first moved to the Village, that was one of the first things I took a photo of while out exploring. It felt like a "Welcome to East Village" sign. : )
Really glad that the landlord listened to the community and decided to keep the mural up. In a time of so much sadness in our community, this was something that made me smile :)
Black really? Could not come up with another color option?
This is welcome news!
Well, at least they saved the art since they ruined the rest of the facade.
Black is our neighborhood's default color!
