Brooklyn Nets, Artistic Teens Paint Atlantic Ave. Underpass
Blink and you won't miss this eye-catching mural.
If you've long lamented the dreary underpass located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue between Columbia and Hicks Streets, good news: Now there's a riotous feast for the eyes to assuage your years of frustration.
New York City-based arts outfit Groundswell brought a group of teens to the formerly dank stretch on Tuesday and had them canvass the wall with a new, vibrant street mural—with the help of a few Brooklyn Nets players.
The image combines various Brooklyn landmarks and waterfront symbols in one swirling, graffiti-esque collage as you approach Brooklyn Bridge Park.
