This past May and June, the Welling Court community partnered with Ad Hoc Art (a Brooklyn based organization for artists, including street artists) to bring together over 40 street artists to paint murals along several city blocks. The artists spanned 50 years of graffiti art and the result is really impressive, vibrant pieces of art. The walls are courtesy of some industrial buildings and car mechanic shops, which only adds to the appeal of the artwork.
Definitely a must-see site in Astoria! If interested, visit 11-98 Welling Court (corner of 30th Ave and 12th St) and also check out the Two Coves Community Garden while you're there! Some pictures to illustrate the project:
