Linardaki drew the design from fabric patterns she collected across New York City, reflecting the city\u2019s communities and layered history. The vinyl mural stretches approximately 213 meters and stands about 2.4 meters tall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy weaving patterns collected across the city, I aim to reflect the shared history and experiences that unite communities across Lower Manhattan,\u201d said Linardaki, adding that the work also pays tribute to the iconic skyline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to see the first installation through our collaboration with ArtBridge come to life,\u201d said Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance. \u201cWe encourage other Lower Manhattan property owners to take advantage of this opportunity to enliven their construction sites, beautify sidewalk sheds, and help brighten our neighborhood with public art,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis mural marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for public art in Lower Manhattan and exemplifies our mission at ArtBridge,\u201d said Stephen Pierson, executive director of ArtBridge. \u201cThrough our partnership with the Downtown Alliance, we\u2019re transforming construction fencing into spaces for creativity, connection, and storytelling,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Downtown Alliance announced the partnership with ArtBridge in early 2025, launching a program that supports public art installations on temporary construction structures across Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artist Eirini Lindardaki poses in front of her mural \u2018I See the Sky From the Other Side.\u2019 [Angelina&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[79,75,84,83,9,24,63,87,12723],"class_list":{"0":"post-103094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manhattan","8":"tag-diaspora","9":"tag-manhattan","10":"tag-manhattan-headlines","11":"tag-manhattan-news","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-politics","16":"tag-visual-arts"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
