Amazing Art Work On Building - Audubon Mural Project



Amazing Art Work On Building - Audubon Mural Project 
In a visually captivating public art venture, the Audonon Mural Project seeks to raise awareness for species of birds threatened by climate change in a rather unconventional way—street art. A collaboration between theNational Audubon Society and Gitler &_____ Gallery, scatterings of stunning avian themed murals are cropping up throughout John James Audubon’s old Manhattan neighbourhood. Still underway, the project continues to grow, spreading the word about globally endangered birds.


To check out these towering street paintings in person, there is a map available that indicates the location of the scattered murals throughout the city, here.
