Project Description
Groundswell worked with City Councilmember David Yassky's office and the Open Space Alliance to create six murals by selected artists on India Street. Groundswell artist Chris Soria created one of the murals and facilitated two community painting days so that the community could contribute to the final work.

Fun Facts
Rami Metal, Ciara McKeown, and Sarah Pirozek partnered with Groundswell to make the India Street Mural Project a reality. As a result, Rami, Ciara, and Sarah formed the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition, now called North Brooklyn Art or NBart.
The India Street Mural Project was part of a city-wide initiative to redevelop the Greenpoint/Williamsburg waterfront begun in 2004.
“One of the great things about this project is that you meet people and you sort of become a community. Everyone is so passionate about what they're doing." - Robert Seng, Lead Artist
