Street art and events in New York: the story of Welling Court Mural Project

The welling court mural project was born from the idea that Jonathan and Georgina Ellis had. In the autumn of 2009, they got in contact with Ad Hoc Art NYC, an organization in Brooklyn, to renew the areas appearance. From that moment on, a work of synergy began that brought many artists to welling court (a part of Astoria) to contribute in giving the area a new face. The initiative had such a big impact, so much that it interested the New Yorker and the New York Times. Today street artists from all over the world come to Astoria every year, to bring new art to the area. Speaking of street art and events in New York, welling court mural project has the objective to celebrate cultural but above all celebrate the diversity in the small area of Astoria, Queens. There is a strong pact between street artists and the queens community that lives on in symbiosis. The entire organization is handled by Alison Wallis that was one of the founders of the project. The collection of street art In welling court is considered one of the best examples of contemporary art. Remember that the exposition is free and open to the public 365 days a year.
