Description: The Welling Court Mural Project is an annual street art event and outdoor art gallery located in the neighborhood of Astoria, Queens, New York City. The project was started in 2009 by a local resident and artist, Ad Hoc Art, as a way to beautify and revitalize the Welling Court area through public art. Each year, artists from around the world are invited to create large-scale murals and street art on the walls of buildings, fences, and other surfaces throughout the neighborhood. The result is a vibrant and ever-changing outdoor gallery that showcases a diverse range of artistic styles and themes. The Welling Court Mural Project has become a beloved part of the Astoria community, attracting art enthusiasts, locals, and tourists alike. It offers a unique opportunity to experience street art up close and to witness the creative process in action as artists work on their murals. One of the project's goals is to engage the community and foster a sense of pride and ownership among local residents. The murals often reflect the culture, history, and spirit of Astoria, creating a connection between the artwork and the neighborhood it adorns. The project's collaborative and inclusive nature has led to the involvement of various community members, organizations, and businesses, all of whom come together to support and celebrate the transformative power of public art.
