NE Aquarium Artworks
SEA MURAL

Beautiful paintings of ocean life adorn Boston sidewalks.

July 2005 - Sidewalk Sam and the Mayors Youth/Arts Corps created twenty giant artworks for the New England Aquarium as part of the annual Boston PrideWalk program. "There are fish all over the city," says Sidewalk Sam. "It is only fitting for a seacoast city to welcome visitors with an ocean theme. The paintings were a lot of fun to create and the partnership with such a wonderful institution as the Aquarium was a unique opportunity."

Each painting portrays a sea creature that reflects the many conservation, educational and exhibit programs the Aquarium offers to the public. A special emphasis ties in with the new IMAX Theater presentation of "Sharks 3D" at the Aquarium this summer. The artworks will be maintained on the sidewalks throughout the summer season.
