The Buffalo AKG Public Art Initiative is partnering with Stitch Buffalo and local artist Saira Siddiqui to create a mural for Stitch Buffalo’s new building at 284 Plymouth Avenue.
The public paint days invite the community to co-create a public space that reflects diverse experiences. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and belonging for participants who are directly involved in shaping the narrative of their neighborhood. This process is replicable in other communities, offering a model for how public art can both celebrate diversity and build inclusive spaces through collaboration.
