About the Project
83 Gallery aims to create an eco-friendly garden fostering environmental stewardship in the Near East Side. The project features a collaborative mural between local artists and community members celebrating urban biodiversity and educating visitors about local plant species. The educational impact of the mural will be enhanced by a garden supporting pollinators. Local bird populations will also find habitat with artist-designed birdhouses.
