“Pigeon Brain Musings” is artist Steve Ellis’s contribution to the exhibition. A longtime resident of Lower Manhattan, Ellis used his experience as a multimedia artist to sketch the Seaport from the perspective of a pigeon. Installed on Beekman Street, a giant ballpoint pen illustrates perceptions and thoughts from a bird’s eye view, including food finds, nesting spots, and how to navigate the neighborhood. The 100-foot-long artwork came together through the artist's digitization of ink drawings and oil paintings. 

Ebony Bolt’s mural, “All Year Round,” is a digital artwork printed on vinyl. Located on Pearl Street, the 300-foot-long design reflects the architecture of the South Street Seaport through the seasons. Infusing the scene with sketches of people influenced by Bolt's experience as a textile designer, the work transitions from winter to spring and summer to fall. Seasonal motifs include snowflakes, leaves, dandelions, and roses. 

Coming Soon - Blanka Amezkua, an interdisciplinary artist, cultural promoter, and educator, will hand paint the mural “My Joy/Your Joy” onto 200-feet of construction shed on Peck Slip. The mural was designed in collaboration with fifth graders from the Peck Slip school - which directly faces the mural. Over multiple workshop sessions, Amezkua taught students about the traditional Mexican paper cutting technique of papel picado. She prompted students to design their own cut paper banners featuring things that brought them joy. The final mural will include brightly colored panels overlain with painted papel picado.
