What: In 2020, CITYarts will restore Alice on the Wall mural near Stuyvesant High School. This mural was originally created after 9/11 as a way to encourage students at Stuyvesant to return to school. Now, every few years a new generation of students make it their duty to restore the mural and to add their voices. In this restoration, students will be collaborating with artist Mariano Ferrante to create a new mural around Washington Market Park, as they restore and refurbish their beloved Alice on the Wall. During the Coronavirus, Artist Zeehan Wazed is engaging students with remote workshops!
